Comparative Biomechanics of Thick Filaments and Thin Filaments with Functional Consequences for Muscle Contraction

The scaffold of striated muscle is predominantly comprised of myosin and actin polymers known as thick filaments and thin filaments, respectively. The roles these filaments play in muscle contraction are well known, but the extent to which variations in filament mechanical properties influence muscl...
