Schematics of radially compressed actomyosin filament lattice. a Intact state, b 30 %-compressed state, and c 50 %-compressed state. Left panel cross-section of the filament lattice, in which large circles represent thick filament backbones and small circles thin filaments. Right panel simplified configurations of cross-bridges, thin filaments, and thick filament backbones shown in the left panel
