Fig 5. Illustration of an active stretch of a sarcomere based on the three filament model.

Fig 5

a, The sarcomere is activated at a length of 2.4μm and b, stretched to 3μm. The resulting force is compared to the corresponding isometric force at 3μm where the sarcomere is activated at a length of 3μm and the elongation of titin’s free spring length is less compared to b independent of whether titin is attached to actin d or not c.
