About this book
Muscle contraction has been the focus of scientific investigation for more
than two centuries, and major discoveries have changed the field over the years.
This book centers mostly on mechanical studies, dealing with force production
and regulation; it gathers studies performed by scientists who have used diverse
muscle techniques, and who have shaped the field of muscle contraction throughout
the past years. Starting with theoretical approaches to understand myosin molecule
function and energetics, this book covers experimental work performed with single
molecules, and discusses results from studies investigating basic mechanisms
of contraction, using (mostly in order of appearance) isolated sarcomeres, myofibrils,
and fibers are presented. The last chapters summarize studies investigating
the effects of acute and chronic adaptations, including weakness and muscle
disease. Muscle Biophysics represents an excellent source of information for
readers intending to understand the mechanics of muscle contraction, and is
a fascinating collection of chapters that will hopefully stimulate young investigators
to pursue research in this exciting field of research.
