Effect of Ca ion concentration on cross-bridge kinetics in rabbit psoas fibers. Evidence for the presence of two Ca-activated states of thin filament

Abstract: The effect of Ca ion concentration on cross-bridge kinetics in a small bundle (one to three fibers) of chemically skinned rabbit psoas muscle is studied. The length of the muscle is oscillated in small amplitude sine waves (0.2% L0 peak-to-peak) at varying frequencies (0.125 -- 167 Hz), and the resulting amplitude and phase shift in tension are measured. The frequency response function (complex stiffness) thus obtained can be divided into three parts, which we name process (A) (centered at 1 Hz), process (B) (… Show more

“…The other approach involved studies in the frequency domain, where sinusoidal vibrations at a number of frequencies have been applied to the muscle (e.g. Machin & Pringle, i960;Jewell & Ruegg, 1966;Thorson & White, 1969Abbott, 1973a, b;Rossmanith et al, 1980;Cuminetti & Rossmanith, 1980;Kawai & Brandt, 1980;Kawai et al, 1981;Wilson & White, 1983;Loxdale & Tregear, 1985), in order to obtain spectra of stiffness and phase, permitting the deduction of parameters such as fw, the frequency for maximum oscillatory work per cycle.

“…An ionic strength decrease at least to 0.128, however, is not associated with a change in this frequency (Kawai et al, 1981), although the magnitude of oscillatory work increases. V. of shortening (Edman and Hwang, 1977) and maximum tension (April and Brandt, 1973) have been reported to increase in intact fibers bathed in hypotonic media.…”
