Remarks on Muscle Contraction Mechanism II. Isometric Tension Transient and Isotonic Velocity Transient

Mitsui and Ohshima (2008) criticized the power-stroke model for muscle contraction and proposed a new model. In the new model, about 41% of the myosin heads are bound to actin filaments, and each bound head forms a complex MA3 with three actin molecules A1, A2 and A3 forming the crossbridge. The com...
