Comparative Biomechanics of Thick Filaments and Thin Filaments with Functional Consequences for Muscle Contraction by Miller, Mark S., Tanner, Bertrand C. W., Nyland, Lori R., Vigoreaux, Jim O.

“…The scaffold of striated muscle is predominantly comprised of myosin and actin polymers known as thick filaments and thin filaments, respectively. The roles…”
