Rigor cross-bridges bind to two actin monomers in thin filaments of rabbit psoas muscle.
The mode of binding of myosin subfragment-1 (S1) to actin is known to depend on their molar ratio: when actin is in excess, S1 binds to two actin monomers within the actin filament, and when S1 is in excess or is equimolar with actin, each S1 binds to one actin monomer. Since in vertebrate striated muscle actin is in molar excess over myosin, we expect that in fibers each myosin head binds to t...
متن کاملMembrane Potentials in the Donnan Equilibrium
(The diagram gives, however, no indication of the hydrostatic pressure due to the liquid in the manometer tube, which is a necessary condition for equilibrium. For further details of the experiments Loeb's original papers and book s may be consulted.) AH and BH represent hydrogen electrodes; AK and BK, calomel electrodes connected to the solutions by saturated KC1. Loeb measured the potential d...
متن کاملMembrane Potentials in the Donnan Equilibrium. Ii
Measurements were made of electromotive force in the Donnan equilibrium of systems containing dilute solutions of protein and acid. Removal of the membrane produced a decrease of no more than 2 to 4 mv. in electromotive force, while the membrane potentials, as estimated by the usual arbitrary assumption, were of the order of 12 to 34 mv. Ion ratios, as calculated from analyses for total chlorid...
متن کاملQuantitative studies on the polarization optical properties of striated muscle. I. Birefringence changes of rabbit psoas muscle in the transition from rigor to relaxed state
The changes in birefringence in the rigor to relax transition of single triton-extracted rabbit psoas muscle fibers have been investigated with quantitative polarized light techniques. The total birefringence of rest lenght fibers in rigor was (1.46 +/- 0.08) x 10(-3) and increased to (1.67 +/- 0.05) x 10(-3) after Mg-ATP relaxation. Pyrophosphate relaxation increased the total birefringence on...
متن کاملDonnan potential of rabbit skeletal muscle myofibrils I: electrofluorochromometric detection of potential.
The fluorescence of the dye CC-6 [(3-hexyl-2-(3-hexyl-2-benzoxazolinylidene)-1-propenyl)-benzoxazolium iodide] has been shown to indicate Donnan potentials in rabbit skeletal muscle myofibrils. These results are in agreement with previously published work in which the potentials were measured with microelectrodes on glycerol-extraced muscle fibers. The magnitude of the Donnan potential of the m...
