methamidophos and Muscle Contraction

methamidophos has been researched along with Muscle Contraction in 1 studies

methamidophos: structure
methamidophos : An organic thiophosphate resulting from the N-deacylation of the proinsecticide acephate.

Muscle Contraction: A process leading to shortening and/or development of tension in muscle tissue. Muscle contraction occurs by a sliding filament mechanism whereby actin filaments slide inward among the myosin filaments.
