Particular thiols of the myosin subfragment 1 moieties of single glycerinated muscle fibers are covalently labeled with rhodamine. By using appropriate solutions such fibers can be relaxed, be in rigor, or develop active isometric tension. The rhodamine is excited by polarized 514.5-nm laser light; the greater than 580-nm fluorescence is resolved into orthogonal components and the intensity of each is measured by a computer-interfaced photon counting system. Fluctuations over-and-above noise appear in steady-state activity but not in relaxation or rigor and not when the fluorophore is actin-attached instead of myosin-attached. Fluctuations also appear in ratios of polarized intensities--quantities sensitive to fluorophore attitude but not to fluorophore number. The fluctuations are dominated by low (approximately 2 Hz) frequencies similar to separately measured ATPase frequencies. The fluctuations are ascribed to repetitive motion of the cross bridges to which the rhodamine is attached.

Fluctuations in polarized fluorescence: evidence that muscle cross bridges rotate repetitively during contraction.
