ANALYSIS OF MUSCLE CONTRACTION BY ULTRAVIOLET MICROBEAM DISRUPTION OF SARCOMERE STRUCTURE

In an effort to differentiate between the sliding filament theory for muscle contraction and alternative views which propose attachment between actin and myosin filaments at or across the H zone, rabbit psoas myofibrils were irradiated in various areas of the sarcomere with an ultraviolet microbeam...
