The mechanism for vertebrate striated muscle contraction.

Abstract
Most of the work done since the sliding filament theory was first proposed supports this theory. Problems which arose, such as that concerned with the question of how an attached cross-bridge could exert a constant force during an isometric tetanus, regardless of variation in the lateral separation of the filaments, now were for the most part resolved by further work on cross-bridge structure. The theory is simple and appealing. The theory fits in naturally with the mainstream of research in molecular biology in which protein-protein and protein-ligand interactions are dominated by the concepts of recognition, binding and conformational change.
