What is the actin status to begin cross bridge formation?
The actin binding sites are exposed
What blocks the myosin binding sites on the actin molecule preventing cross bridge formation?
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.
What muscle cell protein covers the myosin binding sites on actin fimlaments?
tropomyosin
Binding sites on the actin molecules are covered by troponin and?
muscle that produces a give movement
Myosin contains two binding sites for what two molecules?
ATP (--> ADP+Pi) and actin
The binding of calcium to which molecule causes the myosin binding sites to be exposed?
Troponin binds to the Calcium ions to expose the actin to the myosin heads.
What blocks a bonding site in muscle?
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.

What is the role of the skeletal muscles?
Tropomyosin serves as a contraction inhibitor by blocking the myosin binding sites on the actin molecules.
What is the function of the calcium in the sarcoplasm?
Calcium is released from the sarcoplasm to bind with the troponin which allows the tropomyosin the reveal the binding sites on the actin so the muscle can contract
What specifically is cross bridge?
myosin binding to actin
Active sites on the actin become available for binding when?
C: Calcium binds to troponin. The troponin is a filament in the actin strand, and the active site needs to be uncovered so that the myosin head can bond and therefore pull the muscle to contract it.
The ability of myosin to interact with actin is regulated by the binding of?
Ca2+ to troponin
