Crossbridge arrangements

E. Crossbridge Arrangements on Different Myosin Filaments Variations on a Theme... [Pg.74]

The structure and arrangement of the actin and myosin filaments in muscle. During muscle contraction the cyclic interaction of myosin crossbridges with actin filaments draws the actin filaments across the myosin filaments. [Pg.173]

Thick filaments. Each thick filament contains 200 to 300 myosin molecules. Each myosin molecule is made up of two identical subunits shaped like golf clubs two long shafts wound together with a myosin head, or crossbridge, on the end of each. These molecules are arranged so that the shafts are bundled together and oriented toward the center of the thick filament. The myosin heads project outward from either end of the thick filament (see Figure 11.1, panel a). [Pg.141]
