Purpose: The aim of this study was to extend current half-sarcomere models by involving a recently found force-mediated activation of the thick filament and analyze the effect of this mechanosensing regulation on the length stability of half-sarcomeres ...

Structure and paramyosin content of tarantula thick filaments. [PDF]
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.

Solar Energy Driven Membrane Desalination: Experimental Heat Transfer Analysis
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

Thick film, acoustic emission sensors for embedded structural health monitoring systems [PDF]
Structural heath monitoring of engineering structures is of growing interest due to increasedcomplexity of such structures and the ability to schedule maintenance when it is needed thuspreventing unnecessary work or preventing failure. One such method

Growth Rates of HFCVD Diamond Films on Silicon Carbide Substrates for Heat Dissipation Applications
Diamond has an extremely high thermal conductivity, making it to have a great potential as a heat dissipation material. Based on the hot filament chemical vapor deposition (HFCVD) technique, diamond thick films were deposited on silicon carbide ...

Oriented thick and thin filaments in amoeba proteus [PDF]
Actin and myosin filaments as a foundation of contractile systems are well established from ameba to man (3). Wolpert et al. (19) isolated by differential centrifugation from Amoeba proteus a motile fraction composed of filaments which moved upon the addition of ATP.

Myofibrillogenesis in striated muscle cells requires a precise ordered pathway to assemble different proteins into a linear array of sarcomeres. The sarcomere relies on interdigitated thick and thin filaments to ensure muscle contraction, as well as ...

Cardiac Myosin Binding Protein-C Is Essential for Thick-Filament Stability and Flexural Rigidity [PDF]
Using atomic force microscopy, we examined the contribution of cardiac myosin binding protein-C (cMyBP-C) to thick-filament length and flexural rigidity.

CryoEM structure of Drosophila flight muscle thick filaments at 7 Å resolution
Relaxed thick filaments from Drosophila flight muscle show disordered myosin heads, a ribbon arrangement of myosin tails and a novel protein, stretchin-klp, on the filament surface.
