A model of Ca movement during activation of frog skeletal muscle is described. The model was based on the half sarcomere of a myofibril and included compartments representing the terminal cisternae, the longitudinal sarcoplasmic reticulum, the extramyofibrillar space and the myofibrillar space. The Ca-binding proteins troponin, parvalbumin and calsequestrin were present in appropriate locations and with realistic binding kinetics. During activation, a time-dependent permeability in the terminal cisternal wall led to Ca release into the myoplasm and its diffusion through the myoplasm longitudinally and radially was computed. After adjustment of 3 parameters, the model produced a myoplasmic free-Ca concentration that was very similar to those recorded experimentally with Ca indicators. The model has been used to demonstrate the importance of parvalbumin in the relaxation of skeletal muscle, to describe the time course and magnitude of Ca gradients associated with diffusion across the sarcomere and to estimate the errors associated with the use of aequorin as an intracellular Ca indicator in muscle.
