Figure 9: Summary of the temperature effect on isometric tension (a) and stiffness (b). The mean and SEM are shown. The number of experiments is nfTm ( 𝑛 = 1 0 ), ▵ 2 T m ( 𝑛 = 1 0 ), ▵ 3 T m ( 𝑛 = 1 1 ). Under the experimental conditions used here (standard activation solution and the constant sarcomere length), the larger temperature sensitivity corresponds to an increased hydrophobic interaction between actin and myosin molecules [24].
