On the characterization of protein native state ensembles.

abstract：:Slow stretch ramps (velocity: 0.17 fiber lengths s-1) were imposed during fused tetanic contractions of intact muscle fibers of the frog (1.4-3.0 degrees C; sarcomere length: 2.12-2.21 microns). Instantaneous force-extension relations were derived both under isometric conditions and during slow stretch by applying fas...
