The mechanism of muscle contraction is considered. The hydrolysis of an ATP molecule is assumed to produce the excitation of hydrogen bonds A--H..-B between electronegative atoms A and B, which are contained in the myosin head and actin filament. This excitation energy ef depends on the interatomic

## Abstract The properties of exciton and soliton excitations in oneโdimensional molecular systems and in ฮฑโhelical protein molecules are investigated. It is shown that collective excitationsโsolitons, corresponding to a combination of vibrational excitations in peptide groups and a local deformati
The effects of the dihydropyridine derivative, nifedipine, well known as a blocker of calcium channels, were tested on cultured rat myoballs. Membrane currents and contractions were simultaneously recorded by means of the patch-clamp technique and a photoelectric transducing method. High concentrati
The skeletal muscle is regarded as a periodically deformed plate. An equation of energy for the biological tissue in the system is used in the Lagrange variables. With the heat exchange through the above tissues to the exterior media and also with account of some relations between the physiological
