Fig. 3.
Single sarcomeres isolated from Ckmm-ATE1 produced lower passive force than WT. A: 4 steps of a single sarcomere being stretched from slack length to a long length. The inflexible needle is at right and the deflectable needle at left. B: examples of 6 experiments showing passive force development in WT (blue circles) and Ckmm-ATE1 (gray triangles) myofibrils. C: cloud plot showing passive forces produced by WT and Ckmm-ATE1 isolated sarcomeres. Each point corresponds to a plateau area from the raw data [WT (n = 23) and Ckmm-ATE1 (n = 25)].
