cross-bridges — (kros brijґəz) in A bands of myofibrils, connections from the thick to the thin filaments formed by the heads of myosin molecules and appearing microscopically as dark striations; they provide the mechanical force that slides the thick and… … Medical dictionary
myosin ATPase — my·o·sin ATP·ase (miґo sin a te peґās) [EC 3.6.4.1] a specialized enzyme activity of myosin heads that couples the energy derived from the hydrolysis of ATP with motion by the successive making and breaking of cross bridges between actin and … Medical dictionary

Omecamtiv Mecarbil (CK-1827452) — is a cardiac specific myosin activator. It is clinically tested for its role in the treatment of left ventricular systolic heart failure [6]. Systolic heart failure is characterised as a decreased cardiac output (<40% of normal), due to… … Wikipedia
sliding filament mechanism — the process by which muscle contracts: the thick and thin filaments slide past each other while maintaining a constant length as the result of mechanical forces generated by interaction of cross bridges (myosin heads) with the actin filaments.… … Medical dictionary
