Two-state models for muscle cross-bridges, of the type originally detailed by Andrew Huxley, were examined. Rate functions for cross-bridge attachment and detachment can be chosen which yield a steady-state force-velocity relationship appropriate for the spontaneous generation of oscillatory contractions. Computer simulations have been used to demonstrate oscillation of such cross-bridge systems, and to demonstrate that distribution of this type of local shear oscillation along the length of a flagellum is sufficient for the generation of propagated bending waves.
研究了最初由安德鲁·赫胥黎详细阐述的那种肌肉横桥双态模型。可以选择横桥附着和脱离的速率函数,这些函数会产生适合自发产生振荡收缩的稳态力-速度关系。计算机模拟已被用于证明这种横桥系统的振荡,并证明这种局部剪切振荡沿鞭毛长度的分布足以产生传播的弯曲波。
