Extrapolation of the curve to infinite dilution of the protein gives an intrinsic viscosity of about Samples dissolved in M KC1 prior to the step at which spermosin was removed by denaturation in cold alcohol were tested for sensitivity to ATP. This material, referred to as "flactospermosin," had ATP-ase activity and underwent precipitation after 10-fold dilution with mM MgCl-j in the absence of ATP and superprecipitation on dilution in the presence of mM ATP. Two aliquots of flactospermosin in M KC1 had outflow times in the Ostwalcl viscometers of between three and four minutes. Addition of 1/10 volume of 2 mM ATP-ascorbate solutions caused rapid drops in the outflow time followed by slower STARFISH FLAGELLAR "FLACTO-SPERMOSIN" 190 P 180 S 170 160 - !r 150 - 140 - 130 - 120. 120 (MIN) FIGURE 3.
