decrease in pH. ADP, Pi, IMP and lactate increases. I explained below.

I have to write the normal process of contraction first real quick


--> Ca released from SR into the sarcoplasm causing calcium spark
--> cell wide increase in calcium
--> calcium binds to troponin C
--> conformational change that moves tropomyosin
--> exposing myosin binding groove of actin
--> myosin (in high energy state) binds to the actin
--> that chemical energy converted to mechanical energy
--> displacement of myosin on actin producing a power stroke/ contraction

--> A new ATP molecule binds to myosin causing


--> detachment of myosin from actin filament
--> hydrolysis of the bound ATP
--> myosin adopts "high energy" positioned ("Cocked") for next contraction
--> at that time, the calcium in the sarcoplasm are removed back into the SR by the SERCA
--> termination of crossbridge cycle and muscle relaxation

So, It is important to keep the myosin in high energy state


--> The ms has to work hard to supply ATP to contract (ADP phosphorylation in other word)
--> The required ATP is supplied by anaerobic glycolysis & creatinine phosphate degradation
--> as anaerobic glycolysis increases, lactic acid increases
--> decreases pH
--> decrease Ca++ release and Ca++ affinity by troponin
--> but force is well preserved as long as ATP can be provided by both PCr degradation and anaerobic glycolysis
--> at a point, PCr store is exhausted
--> ATP supply decreases with falling anaerobic glycolysis
--> decrease ADP phosphorylation to ATP (balanced with a transient increase in ADP obviously and equimolar increase in IMP
--> ATP wil get too low
--> decrease ATP hydrolysis
--> cannot keep myosin in high energy state
--> decreases in the contraction force

The man from the general population so to calculate his chance to be a carrier we should use the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium:

p² + 2pq + q² =1
p+q=1

When:
p²- homozygous for the normal allele (not carrier-AA)
2pq- heterozygous (carrier state-Aa)
q² = homozygous for the mutated allele (affected-aa)
We know that the occurrence of the disease in the general population is 1/40,000. So q²= 1/40,000, q= 1/200 we can calculate
