Title: K/sup +/ localization in muscle cells by autoradiography, and identification of K/sup +/ adsorbing sites in living muscle cells with uranium binding sites in electron micrographs of fixed cell preparations

Localization of K/sup +/-adsorption sites on two peripheral regions of the A band and the Z line in frog voluntary muscle cells has been demonstrated with the aid of autoradiography and radioactive /sup 134/Cs and /sup 204/Tl. The findings confirm the association-induction hypothesis, according to which intracellular K/sup +/ is adsorbed on the beta- and gamma-carboxyl groups of intracellular proteins.
