Muscle contraction inverse temperature transition

Scenario of Muscle Contraction by the Inverse Temperature Transition of Hydrophobic Association... 

Coherence of Phenomena Between Contraction of Muscle and Contraction of Model Proteins Using the Inverse Temperature Transition... 

As reviewed in Chapter 7 with a focus on the issue of insolubility, extensive phenomenological correlations exist between muscle contraction and contraction by model proteins capable of inverse temperature transitions of hydrophobic association. As we proceed to examination of muscle contraction at the molecular level, a brief restatement of those correlations follows with observations of rigor at the gross anatomical level and with related physiological phenomena at the myofibril level. Each of the phenomena, seen in the elastic-contractile model proteins as an integral part of the comprehensive hydrophobic effect, reappear in the properties and behavior of muscle. More complete descriptions with references are given in Chapter 7, sections 7.2.2, and 7.2.3.
