Abstract excerpt
We investigated how strong cross-bridge number affects sliding speed of regulated Ca(2+)-activated, thin filaments. First, using in vitro motility assays, sliding speed decreased nonlinearly with reduced density of heavy meromyosin (HMM) for regulated (and unregulated) F-actin at maximal Ca(2+)....
