Summary

Simplified models of skeletal muscle x-ray reflections reveal how mass distribution affects intensities and phases. Radial crossbridge movement and mass transfer between filaments are compared, with resolution limits potentially influencing structure reconstruction.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate factors affecting equatorial x-ray reflection intensities and phases in skeletal muscle.
  • To model the impact of mass distribution within unit cells on diffraction patterns.
  • To compare the influence of crossbridge radial movement versus filament mass transfer.

Main Methods:

  • Development of simplified models for axially projected mass distributions in muscle unit cells.
