Consilient mechanisms physical basis

In Chapter 8, more structural background and molecular details of contraction exhibited by the linear myosin II motor are considered after, in Chapter 5, the physical basis for the apolar (oil-like)-polar (vinegar-like) repulsive energy that controls hydrophobic association is experimentally and analytically developed. The crystal structures of the cross-bridge of scallop muscle provide remarkable examples of the consilient mechanism functioning in this protein-based machine ... 

Our focus now turns to the physical basis whereby the energy conversions of the hydrophobic consilient mechanism occur, and, of course, it becomes an issue of what controls the inverse temperature transition of hydrophobic association. 

What Is the Physical Basis for the Consilient Mechanism of Energy Conversion ... 

The above profusion of studies demonstrate the breadth and depth of the foundation for the physical basis of the consilient mechanism of the inverse temperature transition. The studies... 

Thereby, the hydrophobic consilient mechanism integrates the calcium ion trigger into the contraction/relaxation of the myosin II motor as well as provides the physical basis for the powerstroke.
