HMM and S-1 both bind one mol of calcium per mole of head, and a half of the calcium binding was diminished upon magnesium addition (10 mM) at the low affinity site. 2. The Mg-ATPase activity of HMM (without actin) was fully activated by the binding of one mol of calcium bound per mol of HMM. 3. The calcium binding profile to S-1 is the same as that to HMM, however, the Mg-ATPase activity of S-1 is independent of calcium binding. It is suggested that there are two kinds of myosin head (or S-1) in molluscan myosin, functionally different in calcium binding properties.
