Enhancement of force generated by individual myosin heads in skinned rabbit psoas muscle fibers at low ionic strength.

Although evidence has been presented that, at low ionic strength, myosin heads in relaxed skeletal muscle fibers form linkages with actin filaments, the effect of low ionic strength on contraction characteristics of Ca(2+)-activated muscle fibers has not yet been studied in detail. To give informati...
