Force and length steps, applied to a muscle fiber in the isometric state, are believed to synchronize attached cross-bridges. This alleged synchronization facilitates the interpretation of the experiments. A rapid force step elicits an elastic respon

We have considered the Huxley-Simmons manoeuvre. On the assumption that the quick release is an elastic process and on the basis of the isometric tension and of the stiffness of the muscle fibre we calculated that the spontaneous release of the fibre

The interaction between water and the protein of the contractile machinery as well as the tendency of these proteins to form geometrically ordered structures provide a link between water and muscle contraction. Protein osmotic pressure is strictly re

The anisotropy decay of the spin-labelled myosin subfragment-1, takes place with different rates depending on the physiological state of muscle: relaxation, isometric contraction and rigor. The decay is mostly explained by the rotation of myosin subf

The analysis of the quick release is usually made by fitting a straight line to the first few experimental points of the tension–length curve. The line is then extrapolated to zero force. The fact that the tension–length curve can be represented

Neurological complications as well as movement disorders are relevant symptoms in animals and humans chronically exposed to dithiocarbamates. Using rat pheochromocytoma cells differentiated by NGF (PC12), we investigated whether propineb affects acet

A simple model is presented where, by an iterative procedure, the forces delivered by the power strokes are summed up to overcome the load. The system is moderated by the viscous hindrance. The model reproduces the features of muscle contraction as d

We present a model of muscle contraction based on purely physical grounds and modulated by a parameter, k, related to the visco-elastic hindrances of the contractile apparatus. The model predicts a strong cooperation among sarcomere units and propose

Fast muscle myosin responds in similar way to F-actin and to phalloidin F-actin. It is activated 7.5 fold at infinite F-actin concentration and 6.8 fold at infinite phalloidin F-actin. The actomyosin dissociation constants are 0.89 +/- 0.34 microM wi

(Iodoacetamido)tetramethylrhodamine disrupts F-actin. At the 1:1 fluorophore to actin (as monomer) ratio approximately 80% of the protein becomes non-sedimentable. The fluorescent, non-sedimentable actin copolymerizes with G-actin to yield fluorescen
