Table of constants used in our model
| Constants | Value |
|---|---|
| Stiffness of the stalk, lp. | 100 nm |
| Angle between the stalk and thick filament, α. | ≈2° |
| Length of the LCD, l0. | 12 nm |
| Length of the stalk, L. | 50 nm |
| Distance between the thin and thick filaments, d0. | 15 nm |
| Force constant for light-chain deflection, M. See Appendix B. | 0.002 kBT/nm2 |
These values are taken from estimates based on experiments. None of these values are fitted parameters.
