Through Thick and Thin—Interfilament Communication in Muscle [PDF]

Biophysical Journal, 2015
Muscles contract via interaction between thick (myosin-containing) and thin (actin-containing) filaments in response to increased levels of calcium. During contraction, the myosin heads extend from the thick filament surface and attach to actin in the thin filaments, causing the filaments to slide past each other in a cyclic, ATP-driven process ...
