REVIEW: 



"The study of muscle metabolism and the energy transformations dur- 

 ing muscle contraction and relaxation come closer to the physiology of the 

 basic processes of living matter than almost any other studies in the field 

 of physiology. Truly then a study on muscle brings us close to the prob- 

 lem of the nature of life."
