In order for myosin to connect to actin's active sites, Ca ions must be released from storage in the sarcoplasmic reticulum into the sarcoplasm. A nerve impulse stimulates the release of Ca ions from the sarcoplasmic reticulum. Once the Ca ions are released into the sarcoplasm, they bind to troponin. Once they bind to troponin, troponin no longer is bound to tropomyosin. Tropomyosin is now no longer covering up actin's active sites, thus allowing myosin to attach to actin's active sites.

How do proteins actin and myosin interact to make a muscle contract?
Myosin and Actin
What 2 proteins make up the mass of a muscle cell?
Actin and myosin interact in muscle cells.
What protein interact in muscle cells?
Actin and myosin interact in muscle cells.
The ability of myosin to interact with actin is regulated by the binding of?
Ca2+ to troponin
What are the proteins are involved in muscle contraction?
Actin and myosin
What are the names of protein filaments in a muscle fiber?
Actin Filaments
What is the name of the regulatory protein?
myosin and actin
What are the two contractile proteins of muscle?
The two types of protein that are in your muscle cells are actin and myosin. What they do is they slide past each other and that makes a muscle cell work.
What are the two types of myofilaments?
The two filaments involved are myosin and actin. Actin: is the framework and slides over the myosin filament when the muscle is shortened. myosin: is a thick filament Also a sacromere: is made up of the actin and myosin. It is the functional unit of a muscle fibre and extends from z line to z line. A muscle contraction: is many sacromeres shortening ( actin sliding over myosin)
What protein makes up the thick filaments of myofibrils?
Myosin makes up the THICK filaments, and actin makes up the thin filaments of myofibrils.
Does protein make actin and myosin?
Actin and myosin are proteins. Protein is a broad category of molecules.
What other protein is involved in skeletal muscle contraction?
Myosin and actin
