Muscle contraction and muscle proteins [PDF]

open access: possibleProceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B - Biological Sciences, 1950
There are three ways in which we can gain knowledge of the change of protein structure connected with muscular contraction. The first way is the observation of the contracting muscle itself. The changes of structural qualities and their time sequence have to be investigated. I take it that the excellent information which we have at present

MUSCLE ACTIVITY and MUSCLE PROTEINS

Biological Reviews, 1950
Summary1. If it were experimentally possible to examine muscle extracts made during defined phases of the contraction cycle, the relation of muscular work to changes in the composition of such extracts might then be elucidated. The changes of normal muscle proteins in relation to muscular function, could then be considered from a truly physiological ...

Muscle Contraction and Fibrous Muscle Proteins

1952
Publisher Summary This chapter deals with the contraction of different kinds of muscle that show differences with respect to the amount of tension developed, the maximum shortening, the rate of shortening, and the fuel requirement. These differences not only reflect the varying levels of evolutionary development, but also a considerable adaptation to

Quantitative changes of muscle proteins after stimulation of the muscle

Experientia, 1957
Nach direkter Reizung des Muskels von Ratten mit einer Frequenz von 300 Impulsen/min wurde folgendes beobachtet: a) Direkt nach Muskelreizung kommt es zu keiner statistisch signifikanten Erniedrigung von Trockengewicht, Gesamtstickstoff und Nichtkollagen-Proteinen des Muskels.

Muscle proteins: actin

Current Opinion in Structural Biology, 1991
Abstract In the past year, structural knowledge of actin has advanced to atomic detail. A synthesis of X-ray fibre-diffraction data and electron-microscopy observations of actin filaments with the atomic model has been achieved.

Effect of testosterone on muscle mass and muscle protein synthesis

Journal of Applied Physiology, 1989
We have studied the effect of a pharmacological dose of testosterone enanthate (3 mg.kg-1.wk-1 for 12 wk) on muscle mass and total-body potassium and on whole-body and muscle protein synthesis in normal male subjects. Muscle mass estimated by creatinine excretion increased in all nine subjects (20% mean increase, P less than 0.02); total body ...

Stimulation of muscle protein degradation and prostaglandin E2 release by leukocytic pyrogen (interleukin-1). A mechanism for the increased degradation of muscle proteins during fever.

New England Journal of Medicine, 1983
To clarify the mechanisms underlying the loss of body protein during fever and sepsis, we incubated rat muscles with highly purified human leukocytic pyrogen.

In vitro Methylation of Muscle Proteins

Nature, 1969
3-METHYL HISTIDINE is a normal amino-acid component of myosin from adult muscle1 and of actin1,2. But whereas 3-methyl histidine occurs in actin isolated from adult and foetal muscle it is absent from myosin isolated from skeletal muscle of the foetal rabbit.

Protein turnover in skeletal muscle. II. The effect of starvation and a protein-free diet on the synthesis and catabolism of skeletal muscle proteins in comparison to liver.

Clinical science, 1970
1. Rates of synthesis and catabolism of liver and muscle sarcoplasmic and myofibrillar protein have been measured in young control, starved and protein (deprived) rats using [ 14 C]Na 2 CO 3 to label protein. 2.

Separation of muscle proteins

Journal of Chromatography A, 1984
This review covers various methods used in the separation and isolation of individual muscle contractile proteins. It is shown which methods have been most useful for the separation of contractile proteins and their fragments and in extending our knowledge of muscle biochemistry and physiology.
