Investigation into the mechanism of thin filament regulation by transient kinetics and equilibrium binding: Is there a conflict?
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Striated muscle contraction occurs when myosin undergoes a lever-type structural change. This process (the power stroke) requires ATP and is governed by the thin filament, a complex of actin, tropomyosin, and troponin. The authors have used a fast-mixing instrument to investigate the mechanism of regulation. Such (pre-steady-state kinetic) experiments allow biochemical intermediates in a working actomyosin cycle to be monitored. The regulatory focal point is demonstrated to be the step that involves the departure of inorganic phosphate (i.e., AM-ADP-Pi → AM-ADP). This part of the cycle, which lies on the main kinetic pathway and coincides with the drive stroke, is maximally accelerated ∼100-fold by the combined association of ligands (Ca[II] and rigor myosin heads) with the thin filament. However, the observed ligand dependencies of the rates of Pi dissociation that are reported herein are at variance with predictions of models derived from experiments where ATP hydrolysis is not taking place (and myosin exists in a nonphysiological form). It is concluded that the principal influence of the thin filament is in setting the rate of Pi dissociation and that physiological levels of regulation are dependent upon the liganded state of the thin filament as well as the conformation of myosin.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
