Calculated lattice disorder in different physiological states for muscle fibers

State Actin disorder, Δa, nm Myosin disorder, Δm, nm
5°C relaxed 3.67 ± 0.4 (3034) 2.79 ± 0.41 (1072)
35°C relaxed 4.26 ± 0.65 (2868) 3.24 ± 0.61 (1047)
5°C rigor 2.9 ± 0.39 (2464) 2.11 ± 0.33 (937)

Values are mean ± SD. Figures in parentheses represent the number of elementary cells analyzed. The difference for Δa and Δm between the cold and hot relaxed states was statistically significant (p < 0.001).
