is vital to the pathogenicity of E. histolytica and therefore‚ the examination of molecular mechanisms involved in this pathogenicity is crucial. Various groups of molecules are involved in erythrophagocytosis in E. histolytica including groups of actins‚ myosins‚ small GTPases‚ transmembrane proteins‚ and lectins. Due to the innate complexity of E. histolytica‚ further study is necessary to determine novel molecular mechanisms and work towards enacting public health solutions to E. histolytica.

correctly. This is where calcium comes into the picture. All muscles use calcium molecules for regulatory and signaling purposes. Contraction control and relaxation control by calcium is achieved first by the activation of troponin-tropomyosin with the actin filaments. The second activation is the calcium with calmodulin which activates myosin light-chain kinase that initiate the contraction of the muscle (Berchtold‚ Brinkmeier‚ & Muntener‚ 2000). The sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) is where the calcium

Myosin has heads on it‚ which attach to the active site on Actin when contracted. Alternating heads that attach to actin (like tug a war). When the muscle is resting the myosin heads are flat.

Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to determine the substance that are required in order for muscle to contract. We are experiencing this contraction by having three different solutions which contains their own disparate chemicals inside. Hypothesis: Solution A: 0.25% ATP solutions in distilled water; Base on muscle contraction mechanism which we know the force that generating cycle required is indeed of a lot of energy in the form of ATP‚ but there are additional solutions; KCl‚ MgCl2 which

contraction. When ATP attaches to the myosin head‚ it gets hydrolyzed to ADP and Pi. Calcium ions bind to the troponin molecules and help expose the binding sites of actin filaments to allow for the attachment of the myosin heads. After the sliding of the myofilaments occurs‚ a new ATP is required to unbind the cross bridge between the actin and myosin filaments. To test the response of muscle fiber to the addition of ATP and/or salts (KCl and MgCl2)‚ we conducted an experiment in which we added salts

uncover actin-myosin binding sites and from cross-bridges that facilitate a muscle contraction. Ca2+ enters the sarcoplasm when DHP receptors on the t-tubules respond to an action potential and trigger the opening of ryanodine channels on the SR. Ca2+ gets cleared when calsequestrin triggers the Ca2+ channel to close‚ and the calcium is used up from a muscle contraction cycle. The role of Ca2+ is that it binds to troponin and removes tropomyosin from the binding sites for myosin on the actin myofilaments

filament theory is used to explain how muscles contract‚ this is shown by the 5 stages of the sliding filament theory. When the muscle contracts‚ the myosin filaments attach themselves to similar actin filaments‚ this attachment causes formation in chemical bonds this then forms the cross bridges. Myosin and actin molecules are made in a series‚ this series is what makes up a muscle cell. This basic module is called the sarcomere‚ these are what gives the tissue of a skeletal muscle its appearance. The
