Cooperative folding of muscle myosins: I. Mechanical model
Matthieu Caruel, Jean-Marc Allain, Lev Truskinovsky
Mechanically induced folding of passive cross-linkers is a fundamental biological phenomenon. A typical example is a conformational change in myosin II responsible for the power-st…

Muscle as a meta-material operating near a critical point
Matthieu Caruel, Jean-Marc Allain, Lev Truskinovsky
Passive mechanical response of skeletal muscles at fast time scales is dominated by long range interactions inducing cooperative behavior without breaking the detailed balance. Thi…
