Abstract

An attempt was made to obtain a quantum mechanical model of process of muscle contraction at the molecular level. The formal approach taken should enable a synthesis to be made of current theories of muscle contraction. First, the basic model of Schrödiner equation for the contractile process in the unperturbed state of the microsystem investigated is presented. Perturbations of a potential nature from a external electrostatic field of the actual myofibril are then included. Finally, energetic transformation and defined criteria for efficiency of muscular work on the quantum mechanical level are analyzed.
