L(+)Lactic acid enhances myosin ATPase in vitro. Different organic acids were tested for activation of myosin ATPase activity. L(+)Lactic is more effective in stimulating ATPase than D(-)Lactic. D(+) and L(-)Malic acids were also effective at the concentration of 2.5 x 10(-2)-5.0 x 10(-2) mmoles/l. At 3.0 x 10(-2) mmoles/l concentration the following acids are activators: acetic, oxalic, malonic, oxaloacetic, pyruvic, glyoxylic, glycolic; succinic is an inhibitor and acetoacetic is without effect. The activation is not in relation with the pKa of these acids. The inhibitory effects of organic acids are evident at the concentration of 5.0 x 10(-2) mmoles/l. This inhibitory effect is linearly increasing with their pKa. The results are discussed in connection with the possible role of these metabolites in controlling not only ATPase activity towards splitting of ATP, but also in controlling the removal of its hydrolytic products.
