Figure 3. Calcium-dependence of the response to a force step in the presence of Blebbistatin.

Figure 3

(a) Force (bar length=120 pN per thick filament), fibre length change (ΔL) and <P2> for the E-helix probe at different calcium concentrations. (b) Calcium-dependence of ΔL at 0.26 ms (phase 1, filled circles) and 50 ms (phase 2, open circles) (mean±s.d., n=3 fibres). (c) <P2> for the E-helix probe before the force step (triangles), at the end of phase 1 (filled circles) and phase 2 (empty circles; mean±s.d., n=3 fibres). Initial sarcomere length 2.80 μm, 25 °C, 5% Dextran, 25 μM Blebbistatin.
