Mechanism of Muscular Contraction
Mechanism of Muscular Contraction
Mechanism of Muscular Contraction (Perspectives in Physiology) by Jack A. Rall
This book describes the evolution of ideas
relating to the mechanism of muscular contraction since the discovery of
sliding filaments in 1954. An amazing variety of experimental
techniques have been employed to investigate the mechanism of muscular
contraction and relaxation. Some background of these various techniques
is presented in order to gain a fuller appreciation of their strengths
and weaknesses. Controversies in the muscle field are discussed along
with some missed opportunities and false trails.
The pathway to ATP and the high energy phosphate bond will be discussed, as well as the discovery of myosin, contraction coupling and the emergence of cell and molecular biology in the muscle field. Numerous figures from original papers are also included for readers to see the data that led to important conclusions.
