Myosin-based regulation of twitch and tetanic contractions in mammalian skeletal muscle

Myosin-based regulation of twitch and tetanic contractions in mammalian skeletal muscle

Time-resolved X-ray diffraction of isolated fast-twitch muscles of mice was used to show how structural changes in the myosin-containing thick filaments contribute to the regulation of muscle contraction, extending the previous focus on regulation by the actin-containing thin filaments. This study s...
