The influence of pressure on actin and myosin interactions in solution and in single muscle fibres

Summary Studies of the molecular mechanism of motile activity require the capacity to examine the properties of individual, isolated molecular components and the properties of these same molecular components in the organised system. Pressure perturbation is one method which can be applied to motile systems at different levels of organisation. We show here that pressure perturbs a specific interaction between actin and myosin in solution and also perturbs the cycling crossbridge in a contracting muscle.
