  • Title: Relation of muscle cell contraction and calcium distribution in sarcomere.
    Author: Poledna J.
    Journal: Gen Physiol Biophys; 1989 Apr; 8(2):81-90. PubMed ID: 2777060.
    Abstract:
    A model of activation of muscle contraction has been proposed. It is based on calcium diffusion and binding to specific regulatory sites in a sarcomere. Calcium ions activate interactions of contractile proteins and thus the generation of force. The model quantifies the relation between calcium released from intracellular stores and the elicited force.
