Question
Chapter 9.3, Problem 17AYP
Summary Introduction
To analyze:
The reason for the change in the length of H and I zone and no change in the A zone.
Introduction:
The contraction and relaxation of muscles are possible due to the presence of myosin protein. The molecule contains two globular heads and one long tail. The shape is asymmetrical and large. The cross-bridges are formed when the globular heads of the myosin filaments are bound to the actin filaments in the overlapping region of thick and thin filaments.

The resting concentration of Ca++ in the muscle cell cytoplasm is about 50-100 nM, and the spike concentration after depolarization is about 10-20 μΜ. a) Consider a single sarcomere. What is the number of free calcium ions within the sarcomere at rest? What is the number of free calcium ions after depolarization? b) The major ion pump responsible for calcium ion recycling is SERCA (sarco/endoplasmic reticulum calcium ATPase). SERCA uses one molecule of ATP to pump two calcium ions, and the resting level can be restored in about 10-20 ms. How many molecules of ATP are used in a single sarcomere for pumping calcium in a single "twitch"? c) Assume that a single "twitch" is sufficient to drive one sarcomere from its fully extended length (about 2.5 µm) to its fully contracted length (about 1…arrow_forward
