Figure 3.

Variation of the intensities of layer lines and meridional and equatorial reflections and their spacings in live relaxed tarantula skeletal muscle with temperatures (t) from 8.5°C to 40°C. (A) Normalized IMLL4. (B–D) Normalized I1,0 (B) and I1,1+2,0 (C) and the change of the I1,1+2,0/I1,0 ratio ΔI1,1+2,0/I1,0 (D). (E–H) Normalized intensities of the third (E) and sixth (F) meridional reflections (M3 and M6, respectively) and their relative spacing changes (G and H). The residual values of IMLL4 are shown in A with black (20%) and white (40%) arrows. The average value and its SEM is shown for each measurement at each temperature. Normalization was against values measured at 22.5°C. The results are given as mean ± SEM.
