Abstract
"Basic" and "gross" free energy levels of a macromolecule such as myosin or Na,K-ATPase, defined in a previous publication, are discussed here for two relatively complicated cases: a six-state kinetic diagram of the sort that could be used to describe the actin activation of myosin-ATPase in solution; and muscle contraction, where a similar kinetic diagram is needed for each value of a positional variable X.
