ELECTRONIC CHEMISTRY. - MG2+ AND CA2+ ACTIVATORS IN THE CYCLE OF CHEMICAL REACTIONS OF MUSCULAR CONTRACTION

Abstract

Chemical analysis of muscle fibers shows that they contain the following main aminated acids: Lysin, arginin, alanin and a certain number of others which have an alanin termination. On the other hand the organic phosphorus used in vivo is the phosphogene (creatine-P). The 'fuel' is provided by glucoses and phosphates. Furthermore, acetylcholine intervenes as an excitant originating in the nervous system. Finally, in the fundamental process Mg(2+) and Ca(2+) are indispensable.
