No immediate clinical implications; leaves open whether thin filament flexibility is a viable research or therapeutic target.
Computational modeling suggests that the thin filament's flexibility plays an active role in muscle contraction.
L. Skubiszak (2006) studied Muscle contraction. Computer program for sarcomere reconstruction was evaluated on Fit between calculated Fourier spectra and actual diffraction patterns. A new computer program reconstructing the thin filament in relaxed, activated, and contracting states suggests that thin filament flexibility may play an active role in muscle contraction.
