Hypothesis-generating for catch mechanism in molluscan muscle; leaves open tropomyosin-paramyosin role pending replication.
The study investigates whether the tropomyosin-paramyosin system is responsible for the prolonged contraction (catch) in molluscan smooth muscle by testing stretch resistance after inactivating the actomyosin system with thiourea.
Johann Caspar Rüegg (1964) studied this question.
