Experiments which combined histochemistry and electron microscopy were performed in studying the sites of enzymatic hydrolysis of thiolacetic acid in the presence of lead ions in diaphragmatic and cardiac muscle. It was found that in these striated muscles the electron opaque, final product of the histochemical reaction (PbS) was discretely deposited on the swelling of the thick elemental filaments that occurs at the M band. Additional sites of enzymatic activity occurred in mitrochondria and in round sarcoplasmic bodies. A reaction, probably non-enzymatic, also occurred in contraction bands in the area of the Z bands and in the sarcoplasmic reticulum. To ascertain the enzymatic nature of the reaction and to define the enzyme involved, control experiments were carried out and the effect of various esterase inhibitors was assayed. It is suggested that the M band enzyme is a cholinesterase, but the enzymes in the mitochondria and the sarcoplasmic bodies that hydrolyze the substrate appear to be different. A possible role of the M band enzyme is discussed.

Thiobutyric, thiocaproic and thiocaprylic acids were synthesized, and enzyme histochemical methods were developed using these thiol-substituted carboxylic acids, as well as thiolacetic acid, as substrates with Pb++ as the capture reagent. The localization of final product of these histochemical reactions, PbS, was studied and compared in a variety of tissues with light microscopy. The enzymatic activities demonstrated were sensitive to low concentrations of E600. The localization of these reactions in several intensely reactive tissues, liver, testis and intestine, were also studied with electron microscopy. At a fine structural level, the final product was deposited primarily in relation to the membranous elements of the smooth and rough varieties of the endoplasmic reticulum, including the nuclear envelope, and of mitochondria. The results of these experiments are discussed, including the possible identity of the enzymes concerned with the hydrolysis of the thiol-substituted substrates. It was suggested that at least three activities were demonstrated in these experiments, one of which was the B type esterase of microsomes, and all of which functioned in lipid metabolism.
