A. F. Huxley's suggestion in Nature (1992) that a structural modification in the myosin head driven by phosphate release can explain the rapid regeneration of the working stroke, which follows the quick recovery elicited by a step release of moderate size (3-6 nm per half-sarcomere), has been tested
We formulate a motional model on the basis of an experimental optical trapping system which reveals the single molecular events of the force generation due to actin and myosin, and we discuss the origin of the dispersion of the displacements of the beads bound to the actin filament. In some experime
