TENDONS immersed in a solution of mercury - potassium iodide contract; if held at constant length they exert tension, there being a reversible relation between tension and concentration of the reagent1. This system has been proposed as a model of the molecular mechanism of muscular contraction2, and may be taken as typical of such models3. The reagent appears to act as a `plasticizer', weakening attractions between protein molecules, and leaving them free to curl up under the influence of thermal agitation.
