Mammalian Muscle Properties Madden et al. IEEE J. Oceanic Engr. 29: 706, 2004
Skeletal muscle features • Muscle surpasses artificial actuators only in the fuel delivery • Linear actuation • Adapted for intermittent duty and stiffness (compliance) control • Versatile force control: recruitment + stiffness modulation (w/o feedback) Madden et al. IEEE J. Oceanic Engr. 29: 706, 2004
McK muscles • Steel braid wrapped around a rubber tube. • Crimped at ends
Friction in the mesh • Filament on filament friction (no sliding relative to the tube)
Properties of McK muscles • 1. Fstatic~ CSA (pro2) • 2. Fstatic~ P • 3. Fstatic is independent of initial length • 4. Fstaticmax~ 1/ao • 5. Fstatic ~ 1/e
Molecular Springs & Ratchets • Spasmoneme of the Vorticella • Acrosome • Actin polymerization Mahdevan, L : Science, 288: 95, 2000.
Actin Spring • Acrosome needs to penetrate egg jelly. • Spring is super-coiled- held twisted by scruin. • Ca++ Ds scruin
Supramolecular ratchets • Pawl and ratchet analogy of actin polymerization • How controlled? In quiescence, profilin is the shut-off switch. Stimulus such as pH D in presence of actin monomers can start. • Listeriaridesthis bus
Conducting polymers • Large molecular deformations (strains) induced by current • Reversible Change in oxidation state

How does muscle fatigue? • Test of a ‘skinned’ muscle fiber from EDL of rat. • Can activate by direct stimulation of any step in the cascade. Pederson, TH: Science 305: 1144, 2004
F1 ATPase: A rotary motor • Can either make or break ATP, hence is reversible • Torque of 40 pN-nM; work in 1/3 rev. is 80 pn-nM (40 * 2p/3) equivalent to free energy from ATP hydrolysis • Can see rotation by attaching an actin filament

When L>> x, the chain has many bends and is always crumpled in solution – the FJC model applies, with each link approximated as 2 x, and perfectly flexible joints. • To count all possible curved states in a smooth-bending rod in solution- it’s a WLC- supercoiling is possible.
