Molecular Mechanics of Smooth Muscle Contraction Modulated by Caldesmon

Matheus Schultz provides experimental data and analysis scripts supporting a manuscript on smooth muscle mechanics. The dataset includes raw microscopy videos, intermediate .mat files, and Python scripts for data extraction, modeling, and statistical analysis. It was last updated on 2026-04-25.

Use Cases

• Modeling myosin dephosphorylation rates based on mathematical estimation scripts.
• Comparing motility assay results based on varying ratios of phosphorylated and unphosphorylated myosin.
• Analyzing force-decay and force-rise kinetics from laser-trapping experiments.
• Reproducing statistical analysis and figure generation based on the provided Python scripts.

Strengths

• Includes raw microscopy video data and intermediate analysis files.
• Provides a complete set of Python scripts for data processing and statistical analysis.
• Data is organized into functional directories corresponding to specific experimental assays.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Dataset is split into multiple parts due to file size limits, which may complicate initial access.
