X-ray analysis and the problem of muscle
Abstract
The present-day picture of muscle is briefly as follows: muscle is a machine for converting chemical energy into mechanical work; the ‘moving parts’ of this machine are built up of two proteins, actin and myosin; the known energy-producing reaction most closely linked to the contractile process is the dephosphorylation of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). In the present studies, low-angle X-ray diffraction technique has been used to study the molecular structure of these two proteins, actin and myosin, and their arrangement in living muscle under various conditions.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
