title: Regulation of vertebrate striated muscle contraction.
abstract: Most current textbooks of cell biology and histology use the steric blocking model to describe the protein mechanism by which vertebrate striated muscle contraction is regulated. Evidence accumulated in the past decade, however, reveals the regulation of muscle contraction to be far more complex than this model predicts.
