My goal is to provide the reader with a narrowly focused perspective on the current working hypothesis, the lever arm model, for the mechanism of force production from chemical energy by muscle motor proteins. Recent data on large-scale domain rearrangements and their underlying atomic level structural changes are presented and critically evaluated. The emphasis is on what additional information is needed to formulate and test the lever arm model as a molecular mechanism. To simplify the presentation of the hypothesis, I have tried to limit severely the number of references, and to use the most contemporary ones when possible. In many cases, I do not cite the earliest publications of important observations or ideas. I hope that my colleagues will be forgiving. To obtain a more integrated historical picture of discoveries in the field, one can work backward from the recent articles cited here or consult a review (1).
