proposal that calcium-activated titin binds actin and winds on it during contraction, adding a spring-like force to cross-bridge cycling.

In biomechanics, winding filament hypothesis refers to proposal that calcium-activated titin binds actin and winds on it during contraction, adding a spring-like force to cross-bridge cycling. This meaning comes from Nishikawa (2011) in Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences.[1]
