Molecular Mechanism of Muscle Contractility - Part 2

This lecture explores the molecular mechanisms of muscle contractility, continuing from Part 1. Delve into the intricate interactions between G-actin, myosin, troponin, and tropomyosin, and understand how calcium and ATP-ADP cycles regulate muscle function. Learn about cross-bridge cycling and the coordination between actin and myosin filaments. Examine neuro-muscular junctions, the role of acetylcholine, and the process of excitation-contraction coupling. Discover how various drugs interact with nicotinic acetylcholine receptors to affect muscle function. This 29-minute educational video from NPTEL-NOC IITM provides essential knowledge for students studying muscle physiology and biochemistry.
