ABSTRACT
EMD 57033 is thought to produce its potentiating effect by increasing the apparent Ca2+ sensitivity of the myofilaments, possibly by altering the kinetics of actomyosin interaction. We have investigated the effect of 10 microM EMD 57033 upon activation speed, induced by flash photolysis of 2mM nitr-5 (caged Ca2+), in chemically skinned trabeculae from the guinea-pig at 12 degrees C. EMD 57033 increases the half time of activation from 238 +/- 18.5 msec (n = 6) to 132.1 +/- 34.0 msec (n = 8) (mean +/- s.e.m.) and suggests that this Ca2+ sensitiser has an important effect upon fapp, that is the transition from the non-force to force generating cross-bridge states.
