Sliding Filament Mechanism in Muscle Contraction : Fifty Years of Research Sliding Filament Mechanism in Muscle Contraction: Fifty Years of Research covers the history of the sliding filament mechanism in muscle contraction from its discovery in 1954 by H.E. Huxley through and including modern day research. Chapters include topics in dynamic X ray diffraction electron microscopy muscle mechanisms in vitro motility assay cardiac versus smooth muscle motile systems and much more.
