Abstract: In the work, we performed densitometry of thick filaments of the Gray's mussel catch muscle; densitometry included determination of electrophoretic dye binding constants of proteins. The results of densitometry showed that the content of twitchin… read more here.

Abstract: Contraction of skeletal and heart muscle is triggered by a calcium-dependent structural change in the actin-containing thin filaments that permits binding of myosin motors from the neighbouring thick filaments. In resting muscle, however, most of… read more here.

Abstract: The Frank-Starling relation is a fundamental auto-regulatory property of the heart that ensures the volume of blood ejected in each heartbeat is matched to the extent of venous filling. At the cellular level, heart muscle… read more here.
