  2. Sliding filament theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sliding_filament_theory

    The sliding filament theory explains the mechanism of muscle contraction based on muscle proteins that slide past each other to generate movement. [1] According to the sliding filament theory, the myosin ( thick filaments ) of muscle fibers slide past the actin ( thin filaments ) during muscle contraction, while the two groups of filaments ...

  3. Muscle contraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscle_contraction

    Depiction of smooth muscle contraction. Muscle contraction is the activation of tension-generating sites within muscle cells. [1] [2] In physiology, muscle contraction does not necessarily mean muscle shortening because muscle tension can be produced without changes in muscle length, such as when holding something heavy in the same position. [1]

  4. Creatine phosphate shuttle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creatine_phosphate_shuttle

    The idea of the creatine phosphate shuttle was suggested as an explanation for altered blood glucose levels in exercising diabetic patients. [5] The change in blood glucose levels were very similar to the alterations that would occur if a diabetic patient would receive a shot of Insulin.It was then proposed that contraction of myofibrils during rigorous exercise freed creatine which imitated ...

  5. Protein–protein interaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein–protein_interaction

    Physiology of muscle contraction involves several interactions. Myosin filaments act as molecular motors and by binding to actin enables filament sliding. [ 8 ] Furthermore, members of the skeletal muscle lipid droplet-associated proteins family associate with other proteins, as activator of adipose triglyceride lipase and its coactivator ...

  6. Myosin light-chain kinase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myosin_light-chain_kinase

    The phosphorylation of MLC will enable the myosin crossbridge to bind to the actin filament and allow contraction to begin (through the crossbridge cycle). Since smooth muscle does not contain a troponin complex, as striated muscle does, this mechanism is the main pathway for regulating smooth muscle contraction. Reducing intracellular calcium ...

  7. Molecular motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_motor

    Kinesin uses protein domain dynamics on nanoscales to walk along a microtubule.. Some examples of biologically important molecular motors: [2] Cytoskeletal motors. Myosins are responsible for muscle contraction, intracellular cargo transport, and producing cellular tension.

  8. Myosin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myosin

    Sliding filament model of muscle contraction. Cardiac sarcomere structure featuring myosin. Myosin II (also known as conventional myosin) is the myosin type responsible for producing muscle contraction in muscle cells in most animal cell types. It is also found in non-muscle cells in contractile bundles called stress fibers. [18]

  9. Hill equation (biochemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hill_equation_(biochemistry)

    The Hill equation is used extensively in pharmacology to quantify the functional parameters of a drug [citation needed] and are also used in other areas of biochemistry. The Hill equation can be used to describe dose-response relationships, for example ion channel open-probability (P-open) vs. ligand concentration.
