Popis: The molecular and nanostructural dynamics of the three fibrillar systems of a muscle during its contraction is studied by means of high-time resolution X-ray diffraction using synchrotron radiation. The results from X-ray diffraction research are analyzed within the modern mathematical concept of the local structural order of nanoobjects. Questions of the structure and function of biological nanosystems are associated with the geometry of the physical space in which these objects are formed and exist. The organization of biological structures differs from the crystal-type ordering in three-dimensional Euclidean space by transition from invariance relative to the infinite translational lattice of lifeless structures to the local nanostructural ordering of live systems which is defined by invariance relative to the constructions of algebraic geometry.
