An Equivocal Final Link – Quantitative Determination of the Thermodynamic Efficiency of ATP Hydrolysis – Sullies the Chain of Electric, Ionic, Mechanical and Metabolic Steps Underlying Cardiac Contraction
Each beat of the heart completes the final step in a sequence of events commencing with electrical excitation-triggered release of Ca(2+) from the sarcoplasmic reticulum which, in turn, triggers ATP-hydrolysis-dependent mechanical contraction. Given that Thermodynamics is inherently detail-independe...
