Temperature at 20°C unless otherwise stated. AM = adductor mangus, EDL = extensor digitorum longus. The nomenclature of the kinetic constants is based on Scheme 8 and common units are used. Hence, it does not necessarily reflect the nomenclature used in the original publication. k1b and k−1b are defined in Scheme 9

a

Values based on Zhao and Kawai (1993)

b

Estimated from Fig. 4A of Fortune et al. (1991) and k4 + k−4 = 51 s−1 as described in its legend

c

Estimate based on Fig. 8 of Marcussen and Kawai (1990)
