The role of the apparent rate constant of cross-bridge transition from the strong binding state (G app ) in skeletal muscle force production

Force regulation at the level of the actin-myosin cross-bridge (XB) can be described by a 2 state model in which the XB's cycle between a strongly bound (SB), force generating state and a weakly bound (WB), non-force generating state. This cycle can be characterized by the apparent rate cons...
