  • Title: [Are the reciprocal sliding of protofibrils and the shortening of thick filaments during muscle contraction based on a common molecular mechanism?].
    Author: Kofman EB.
    Journal: Biofizika; 1976; 21(3):491-4. PubMed ID: 963101.
    Abstract:
    It is assumed that the back stroke of myosin bridges in a contracting fibre is determined by nucleotide binding. Then an inhibition of actomyosin dissociation can lead to the shortening of the thick filaments. Possible existence of a protein control system, suppressing this dissociation is discussed.
