ATP (--> ADP+Pi) and actin
Troponin binds to the Calcium ions to expose the actin to the myosin heads.

Large or polar molecules typically need more help to get through the membrane. They rely on specialized transport proteins such as channels or carriers to facilitate their passage. These transport proteins create pores or binding sites that allow the molecules to cross the membrane.
Tropomyosin serves as a contraction inhibitor by blocking the myosin binding sites on the actin molecules.
Troponin binds to the Calcium ions to expose the actin to the myosin heads.
tropomyosin
true
# When the muscle is in a resting state, thin strands of a protein called tropomyosin are wrapped around the actin filaments, blocking the myosin binding sites. This keeps the myosin from binding to actin. # Molecules called troponin are attached to the tropomyosin. # When calcium is introduced into the muscle cell, calcium ions bind to troponin molecules. # Calcium then pulls troponin, causing tropomyosin to be moved as well, therefore causing the myosin binding sites on the actin to be exposed. # Myosin binds to the now-exposed binding sites. # As soon as the myosin head binds to actin, the head bends at its hinge. # Once the head bends, the myosin loses energy, and remains attached to the actin. # When re-energized by adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the myosin head detaches from the actin filament, and is ready to attach and bend again. # The collective bending of numerous myosin heads (all in the same direction), combine to move the actin molecules closer together. This results in a muscle contraction.
The tropomyosin molecule blocks the active sites of the actin. Troponin is a molecule that is bound to the tropomyosin. Troponin needs CA+ (calcium ions) to bind to it in order to rotate the tropomyosin molecule and expose the actin molecules for the myosin heads to interact for muscle contraction.
Several things do. Neuromuscular-blocking drugs block neuromuscular transmission at the neuromuscular junction causing paralysis. Quaternary ammonium muscle relaxants are quaternary ammonium salts used as drugs for muscle relaxation, most commonly in anesthesia.When a muscle is in a resting state, actin and myosin are separated. To keep actin from binding to the active site on myosin, regulatory proteins block the molecular binding sites. Tropomyosin blocks myosin binding sites on actin molecules, preventing cross-bridge formation, which prevents contraction in a muscle without nervous input.Several things do.

Molecules and cells have reaction and activity areas known under three terms. These are active, receptor, and binding sites. Such sites have markers and binding proteins allowing for their activation and or transfer of genetic materials.
ATP not ADP binds to actin-myosin and is cleaved by to ADP.
TROPOMYOSIN MOLECULES ( troponin hold the tropomyosin in place)
muscle that produces a give movement
Tropomyosin is the thick filament of a muscle sarcomere. It lines the span of 7 G-actin monomers along the grooves of the F-actin filament. Troponin is a trimer that consists of subunits TN-C, TN-I and TN-T. Troponin is attached to tropomyosin and its function is involved in muscle contraction. In a powerstroke of a muscle contraction you have TN-I blocking the myosin head from attaching to the myosin binding site on the actin filament. This is the resting state. When you contract your muscles, calcium is released and attaches to TN-C. This produces a conformational change that moves TN-I away from the myosin head. In turn the myosin binds to the myosin binding site. On the myosin head there is a myosin ATPase that hydrolyzes an ATP which provides the energy for the head to bend 45 degrees. This is the powerstroke that produces muscle contraction. Another ATP molecule will enter in and release the myosin head and calcium is pumped back into the sarcoplasmic reticulum. The resting state is restored!
