Compare and contrast the thick and thin filaments.
Solution
There are two different types of filaments that extend along the muscle tissues in cylindrical
shapes. Together these two filaments are known as myofibrils.
Thick Filaments:
1. Myosin(a large family of motor protein ) are found to be present in these thick filaments in a
bipolar fashion
2. These filaments can be found in one of the bands of sarcomere (skeletal muscle tissue) called
A-Band (anisotropic band named after its property to be directionally dependent unlike isotropy )
3. These filaments are divided/separated by an M-Line which is made up of myomesin protein
Thin Filaments
1.Unlike thick filaments, thin filaments are made up of 3 types of proteins (actin, tropomyosin,
and troponin) while troponin and tropomyosin are engaged is muscle contraction, actin is
engaged in cell shape and cell adhesion.
2. Thin filaments are present in both A-Band and I-Band (While A-Band is anisotropic due to its
quality of being directionally dependent, I-Band is isotropic band being directionally
independent
3. It is divided by a different proteinaceous non-contractile line called Z-Line
