The influences of sarcomere uniformity and Ca2+concentration on the kinetics of relaxation were examined in skinned frog skeletal muscle fibers induced to relax by rapid sequestration of Ca2+by the photolysis of the Ca2+chelator, diazo-2, at 10°C. Compared with an intact fiber, diazo-2-induced relaxation exhibited a faster and shorter initial slow phase and a fast phase with a longer tail. Stabilization of the sarcomeres by repeated releases and restretches during force development increased the duration of the slow phase and slowed its kinetics. When force of contraction was decreased by lowering the Ca2+concentration, the overall kinetics of relaxation was accelerated, with the slow phase being the most sensitive to Ca2+concentration. Twitchlike contractions were induced by photorelease of Ca2+from a caged Ca2+(DM-Nitrophen), with subsequent Ca2+sequestration by intact sarcoplasmic reticulum or Ca2+rebinding to caged Ca2+. These twitchlike responses exhibited relaxation kinetics that were about twofold slower than those observed in intact fibers. Results suggest that the slow phase of relaxation is influenced by the degree of sarcomere homogeneity and rate of Ca2+dissociation from thin filaments. The fast phase of relaxation is in part determined by the level of Ca2+activation.
