A molecular model for muscle contraction

K C Holmes. Acta Crystallogr A. .

Abstract

The molecular mechanism of muscle contraction has been elucidated by a combination of electron microscopy, biochemistry and X-ray diffraction from fibres and crystals. Protein crystallography provided the essential molecular anatomy for understanding this problem. Synchrotron radiation has played a crucial role.
