The earliest molecular response to stretch of insect flight muscle as revealed by fast X-ray diffraction recording

Small insects drive their flight muscle at frequencies up to 1,000 Hz. This remarkable ability owes to the mechanism of stretch activation. However, it remains unknown as to what sarcomeric component senses the stretch and triggers the following force generation. Here we show that the earliest struc...
