Surface tension and muscular contraction

The Mechanochemistry of Muscular Contraction

The dependence of PC(1) and ATP(1) dephosphorylation on the number of isometric twitches in the iodoacetate-nitrogen-poisoned muscle has been examined. There is no net dephosphorylation of adenosinetriphosphate. PC dephosphorylation varies linearly with the number of twitches and produces equivalent amounts of C(1) and P(1i).(1) Iodoacetate concentrations which block the enzyme, creatine phosph...

Kinetics of Muscular Contraction-I **

The kinetics of muscular contraction is basic for the quantitative description of muscle and understanding its molecular mechanism. However, the subject has been embarrassed by several historical accidents. First, due to the lack until recently of adequate high (mechanical) impedance transducers, attention was focussed on isotonic measurement; this led to the idea of muscle as a shortening gene...

The Mechanochemistry of Muscular Contraction

The dependence of PC a and ATP 1 dephosphorylation on the number of isometric twitches in the iodoacetate-nitrogen-poisoned muscle has been examined. There is no net dephosphorylation of adenosinetriphosphate. PC dephosphorylation varies linearly with the number of twitches and produces equivalent amounts of C a and p~.l Iodoacetate concentrations which block the enzyme, creatine phosphokinase,...

MODELING SURFACE TENSION AND WALL ADHESION IN MOLD FILLING PROCESS

Abstract: In this study an algorithm for mold-filling simulation with consideration of surface tension has been developed based on a SOLA VOF scheme. As the governing equations, the Navier-Stokes equations for incompressible and laminar flows were used. We proposed a way of considering surface tension in mold-filling simulation. The proposed scheme for surface tension was based on the conti...
