Smooth muscle molecular mechanics in the latch-state
The latch-state is the capacity of smooth muscle to maintain force for long periods of time with low energy consumption. The prevalent theory to explain the latch-state suggests that if myosin gets deactivated (dephosphorylated) while attached to actin, it remains attached and maintains force. Other...
