| Popis: |
Although nearly two decades have passed since de Villafranca (1961) described A-band shortening, controversy persists. Here we will review the data which has been amassed since de Villafranca’s description. We will conclude that A-bands and thick filaments shorten during sarcomere shortening in Limulus striated muscle. Further we will suggest that two machines operate in this muscle: a tension generating sliding filament system and a tension generating thick filament shortening system. Also we will suggest a mechanism of force generation of the filament shortening system and provide evidence for a cycling bridge mechanism for this muscle. |
