This study demonstrates that all ATP breakdown in the frog sartorius muscle occurs during the contraction phase, with no additional metabolism during relaxation.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
ATP hydrolysis confined to contraction in frog muscle; leaves open energy use during relaxation in mammalian myocardium.
Mommaerts et al. (1967) studied this question.
