Myosin activation

The activation of the M K complex includes 4 C a 2 + ions bonded to calmodulin and myosin light chain kinase. Side reactions include the disassociation of the kinase from the complex and interactions with binding proteins. These interactions were modeled using mass action kinetics summarized in 9 reactions from [link] .

Mechanical model

A variety of models which represent SMCs and other types of cells as mass-spring systems have been developed [link] , [link] , [link] , [link] , [link] , [link] . The most comparable of these models used a single contractile element and two passive elements: one to represent the elastic actin and myosin fibers and the other to represent the adjacent muscle cells and surroundings [link] . We present a novel mechanical model of the SMC which incorporates the previously described biochemical interactions to produce a comprehensive model of SMC contraction.

lack electricity and its more savely than electronic microscope because its naturally by using of light
Abdullahi Reply
advantage of electronic microscope is easily and clearly while disadvantage is dangerous because its electronic. advantage of light microscope is savely and naturally by sun while disadvantage is not easily,means its not sharp and not clear

in what situation (s) would be the use of a scanning electron microscope be ideal and why?
Kenna Reply
A scanning electron microscope (SEM) is ideal for situations requiring high-resolution imaging of surfaces. It is commonly used in materials science, biology, and geology to examine the topography and composition of samples at a nanoscale level. SEM is particularly useful for studying fine details,
