Mechanochemical coupling in spin-labeled, active, isometric muscle.
Observed effects of inorganic phosphate (P(i)) on active isometric muscle may provide the answer to one of the fundamental questions in muscle biophysics: how are the free energies of the chemical species in the myosin-catalyzed ATP hydrolysis (ATPase) reaction coupled to muscle force? Pate and Cooke (1989. Pflugers Arch. 414:73-81) showed that active, isometric muscle force varies logarithmica...
متن کاملMechanochemical Coupling in Flagella
The relation between oxygen consumption and motility of Ciona spermatozoa has been measured by using pH stats to measure the acid production of spermatozoa swimming in dilute suspensions where their motility can be analyzed accurately, and calibrating the acid production by measuring it simultaneously with measurements of oxygen consumption, using more concentrated sperm suspensions. When the m...
متن کاملLoose mechanochemical coupling of molecular motors
In living cells, molecular motors convert chemical energy into mechanical work. Its thermodynamic energy efficiency, i.e. the ratio of output mechanical work to input chemical energy, is usually high. However, using two-state models, we found the motion of molecular motors is loosely coupled to the chemical cycle. Only part of the input energy can be converted into mechanical work. Others is di...
متن کاملMultiscale Modeling of Skeletal Muscle Active Contraction in Relation to Mechanochemical Coupling of Molecular Motors
In this work, a mathematical model was developed to relate the mechanochemical characterizations of molecular motors with the macroscopic manifestation of muscle contraction. Non-equilibrium statistical mechanics were used to study the collective behavior of myosin molecular motors in terms of the complex conformation change and multiple chemical states in one working cycle. The stochastic evol...
متن کاملProgrammed Bending Reveals Dynamic Mechanochemical Coupling in Supported Lipid Bilayers
In living cells, mechanochemical coupling represents a dynamic means by which membrane components are spatially organized. An extra-ordinary example of such coupling involves curvature-dependent polar localization of chemically-distinct lipid domains at bacterial poles, which also undergo dramatic reequilibration upon subtle changes in their interfacial environment such as during sporulation. H...
