during the cocking of the myosin head
The crossbridge cycle is the cyclical formation of links between actin and myosin. This results in the sliding of thin filaments towards the M line of a sarcomere. The myosin head undergoes conformation changes which allows it to swivel back and forth. In its low energy form, myosin has a low affinity for actin. The ATP prepares myosin for binding with actin by moving it to its high energy form position. When myosin contracts, it has a high affinity for actin.
After the myosin head detaches, energy from ATP hydrolysis is used to re-cock the myosin head.

There can be up to 12 PGAL molecules during the Calvin cycle

Myosin heads would remain detached, unable to cock.

The cycle shelters at London Bridge station can be found at the corners. You are able to store your cycle there if you need to board a train to get to your desination.
