Abstract:Bottom-up mechanokinetic models predict ensemble function of actin and myosin based on parameter values derived from studies using isolated proteins. To be generally useful, e.g., to analyze disease effects, such models must also be able to predict ensemble function when actomyosin interaction kinetics are modified differently from normal. Here, we test this capability for a model recently shown to predict several physiological phenomena along with the effects of the small molecular compound blebbistatin. We d… Show more
