Abstract
By using appropriate analogs of ATP, isometrically-held glycerol-extracted psoas fibers from rabbits are forced successively into states corresponding to molecular species in the contractile cycle. In each state measurements are made of P[unk], a fluorescence polarization parameter thought to relate to attitude of S-1 moieties of the myosin molecules. Also, the value of P[unk] is measured during active tension development. It is suggested that this value is a time-average of the P[unk] as S-1 moieties move through the various states of the cycle. Proposals are made concerning the sequence of states in the cycle.
