Myosin Cross-Bridge Behaviour in Contracting Muscle—The T<sub>1</sub> Curve of Huxley and Simmons (1971) Revisited

The stiffness of the myosin cross-bridges is a key factor in analysing possible scenarios to explain myosin head changes during force generation in active muscles. The seminal study of Huxley and Simmons (1971: <i>Nature</i> <b>233</b>: 533) suggested that most of the observe...
