Mechanism of Muscular Contraction
Springer-Verlag New York Inc.
978-1-4939-2006-8 (ISBN)
The pathway to ATP and the high energy phosphate bond will be discussed, as well as the discovery of myosin, contraction coupling and the emergence of cell and molecular biology in the muscle field. Numerous figures from original papers are also included for readers to see the data that led to important conclusions.
This book is published on behalf of the American Physiological Society by Springer. Access to APS books published with Springer is free to APS members.
