Abstract
This chapter describes basics of cross-bridge models, and how to characterize muscle fiber (and myofibril) preparations in terms of elementary steps of the cross-bridge cycle. Models with two states, three states, and multi states are examined. Mathematical derivation to relate observed rate constants to the fundamental rate constants of the elementary steps are presented. The temperature effect of the rate constants, their activation energy, and reaction coordinates are discussed.
