TABLE 1.

Velocity-dependent rate functions used in some transitions within the cross-bridge cycle

Transition/state ki (s−1) Function Function parameters
0-1 40 k/ki = 1 (for single hyperbolic curve)
0-1 40 k/ki = 0.5 + a(1−e−b(V/Vmax)) (for curvature reversal at low V only) a = 1.2; b = 22
0-1 40 k/ki = e−c(V/Vmax) + ed(V/Vmax) −1 (for double hyperbolic curve only, maximum value of k/ki is capped at 1.4) c = 20; d = 7
1-0 70 k/ki = 1 + m(V/Vmax) m = 70
1-2 140 k/ki = 1 + m(V/Vmax) m = 14
2-3 150 k/ki = 1 + m(V/Vmax) m = 14
3-4 20 k/ki = 1 + m(V/Vmax) m = 14
4-5 20 k/ki = 1 + m(V/Vmax) m = 14
5-6 10 k/ki = 1 + m(V/Vmax) m = 14
6-0 20 k/ki = 1 + m(V/Vmax) m = 14
2 F/Fi = 1 − n(V/Vmax) n = 0.57
3 F/Fi = 1 − n(V/Vmax) n = 0.57
4 F/Fi = 1 − n(V/Vmax) n = 0.86
5 F/Fi = 1 − n(V/Vmax) n = 1.43
6 F/Fi = 1 − n(V/Vmax) n = 1.43

Note: Transitions not listed in the table are velocity-independent and the rate constants are listed in Fig. 1 legend.
