Key result
Pressure perturbation alters actin-myosin interactions and perturbs the cycling crossbridge in contracting muscle.
Why the study?
Pressure perturbation can be applied to motile systems at different levels of organisation to study molecular mechanisms of motile activity.

Pressure perturbation can be used to study the molecular mechanisms of motile activity by affecting actin-myosin interactions.
Studies of the molecular mechanism of motile activity require the capacity to examine the properties of individual, isolated molecular components and the properties of these same molecular components in the organised system. Pressure perturbation is one method which can be applied to motile systems at different levels of organisation. We show here that pressure perturbs a specific interaction between actin and myosin in solution and also perturbs the cycling crossbridge in a contracting muscle.

Michael A. Geeves (1991) studied this question. Pressure perturbation was evaluated on Actin and myosin interactions in solution and cycling crossbridge in a contracting muscle. Pressure perturbation alters specific interactions between actin and myosin in solution and perturbs the cycling crossbridge in contracting muscle.
