Why study myosin-actin interactions in aging skeletal muscle? Whole skeletal muscle power output decreases with age, which leads to functional limitations and disability Understanding mechanisms behind muscle power loss will aid in developing pharmacological and/or exercise countermeasures Power = Force Velocity Young Older Whole muscle size: Aging Loss of muscle quantity (muscle atrophy) Single fiber performance: Force Velocity Loss of muscle quality Are myosin-actin interactions affected by age? If so, can these altered myosin-actin interactions explain reductions in whole muscle power output?

Single skinned fiber muscle mechanics (sinusoidal analysis) Isolate and skin single muscle fiber. Mount fiber with t-clips to force transducer and servo motor. Measure elastic modulus, viscous modulus, and work output by oscillating the muscle from 0.125 to 200 Hz (sinusoidal analysis) Expose fiber to exposed to different Ca 2+ conditions Use sinusoidal analysis and curve fitting parameters to calculate a myosin attachment time (t on ) Palmer et al.
