Abstract: Although more than 50 years have passed since the monumental discovery of Huxley and Hanson that muscle contraction results from relative sliding between actin and myosin filaments, coupled with ATP hydrolysis, the mechanism underlying the… read more here.

Abstract: Myofibrils are the intracellular structures formed by actin and myosin filaments. They are paracrystalline contractile cables with unusually well-defined dimensions. The sliding of actin past myosin filaments powers contractions, and the entire system is held… read more here.
