Cycling Cross-Bridges Contribute to Thin Filament Activation in Human Slow-Twitch Fibers
Frontiers in Physiology, 2020 It has been shown that not only calcium but also strong binding myosin heads contribute to thin filament activation in isometrically contracting animal fast-twitch and cardiac muscle preparations. This behavior has not been studied in human muscle fibers

Myosin: Formation and maintenance of thick filaments [PDF]
Animal Science Journal, 2019 AbstractSkeletal muscle consists of bundles of myofibers containing millions of myofibrils, each of which is formed of longitudinally aligned sarcomere structures. Sarcomeres are the minimum contractile unit, which mainly consists of four components: Z‐bands, thin filaments, thick filaments, and connectin/titin.

Solar Energy Driven Membrane Desalination: Experimental Heat Transfer Analysis
Energies, 2022 In the direct contact membrane distillation (DCMD) system, the temperature polarization due to boundary layer formation limits the system performance. This study presents the experimental results and heat transfer analysis of a DCMD module coupled with a

Structure and paramyosin content of tarantula thick filaments. [PDF]
The Journal of cell biology, 1983 Muscle fibers of the tarantula femur exhibit structural and biochemical characteristics similar to those of other long-sarcomere invertebrate muscles, having long A-bands and long thick filaments. 9-12 thin filaments surround each thick filament. Tarantula muscle has a paramyosin:myosin heavy chain molecular ratio of 0.31 +/- 0.079 SD.

The ubiquitin ligase Ozz decreases the replacement rate of embryonic myosin in myofibrils
Physiological Reports, 2021 Myosin, the most abundant myofibrillar protein in skeletal muscle, functions as a motor protein in muscle contraction. Myosin polymerizes into the thick filaments in the sarcomere where approximately 50% of embryonic myosin (Myh3) are replaced within 3 h
