Journal ArticleDOI
Sinusoidal analysis: a high resolution method for correlating biochemical reactions with physiological processes in activated skeletal muscles of rabbit, frog and crayfish.
Masataka Kawai,Philip W. Brandt +1 more
TL;DR: The great similarities in the complex stiffness data from different muscles suggests that there is a common mechanism of chemo-mechanical energy transduction across a broad phylogenetic range.
Journal ArticleDOI
AN ELECTRON MICROSCOPIC STUDY OF PINOCYTOSIS IN AMEBA : I. The Surface Attachment Phase.
TL;DR: It is suggested that a single mechanism underlies phagocytosis, pinocythesis, ropheocytotic, cytopempsis, and potocytoses in amebas.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of different troponin T-tropomyosin combinations on thin filament activation.
TL;DR: It is proposed that both the end-to-end overlap of Tm and the effect of TnT on that interaction are the basis of the concerted transition of the regulatory strand to the active state that occurs in the presence of calcium.
Journal ArticleDOI
Human skeletal muscle: properties of the "chemically skinned%" fiber.
TL;DR: A "skinning%" procedure is described for irreversibly disrupting the sarcolemmal membrane of human skeletal muscle and allowing calcium and other diffusible solutes (such as adenosine triphosphate) access to the myofilament space.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stiffness and fraction of Myosin motors responsible for active force in permeabilized muscle fibers from rabbit psoas.
TL;DR: The stiffness of the single myosin motor (epsilon) is determined in skinned fibers from rabbit psoas muscle by both mechanical and thermodynamic approaches, ruling out the hypothesis of multiple mechanical cycles per ATP hydrolyzed.
