متن کاملAnalytical bead force model for the 3DFM
The magnetic force experienced by a soft magnetic bead is proportional to the strength of the field at the location of the bead. It is also proportional to the gradient of the field at that location. In general the analytical calculation of this force is intractable. However if the generation of the field can be abstractly modeled by a small number of magnetic monopoles, an analytical solution ...
متن کاملUse of a laser-induced optical force trap to study chromosome movement on the mitotic spindle.
A laser-induced optical force trap was used to alter the movement of chromosomes in mitotic cells in vitro. The trap was produced by using a 1.06-microns neodymium YAG (yttrium/aluminum garnet) laser focused through a phase-contrast microscope. The trap was applied to one side of centrophilic chromosomes off the mitotic spindle and to late-moving chromosomes on the mitotic spindle. In both situ...
متن کاملMapping the classical crossbridge theory and backward steps in the three-bead laser trap setup for actin-myosin interaction
According to the crossbridge theory (A.F. Huxley 1957), the interaction between myosin and actin is governed by a deterministic process and the myosin molecule pulls the actin filament in one specific direction only. However, studies on single myosin-actin interaction (J.T. Finer et al. 1994) have shown that crossbridges pull actin filaments not only in a preferred but also in the opposite dire...
متن کاملEndotoxin administration alters the force vs. pCa relationship of skeletal muscle fibers.
Recent work indicates that endotoxemia elicits severe reductions in skeletal muscle force-generating capacity. The subcellular alterations responsible for these decrements have not, however, been fully characterized. One possibility is that the contractile proteins per se are altered in endotoxemia and another is that the mechanism by which these proteins are activated is affected. The purpose ...
