Voltage sensing mechanism in skeletal muscle excitation-contraction coupling: coming of age or midlife crisis?

Abstract The process by which muscle fiber electrical depolarization is linked to activation of muscle contraction is known as excitation-contraction coupling (ECC). Our understanding of ECC has increased enormously since the early scientific descriptions of the phenomenon of electrical activation o...
