Abstract:
:Contractile filaments in skeletal muscle are moved by less than 2nm for each ATP used. If just one cross-bridge is attached to each thin filament at any instant then this distance represents the fundamental myosin cross-bridge step size (i.e. the distance one cross-bridge moves a thin filament in one ATP-splitting cycle). However, most contraction models assume many cross-bridges are attached at any instant along each thin filament. The purpose of this study was to establish whether the net filament sliding per ATP used could be explained quantitatively in terms of a cross-bridge model in which multiple cross-bridges are attached along each thin filament. It was found that the relationship between net filament sliding per ATP split and the load against which the muscle shortens is compatible with such a model and furthermore predicts that the cross-bridge step size is between 7.5 and 12.5nm over most of the range of loads. These values were similar for different muscle fibre types.
