What are the proteins are involved in muscle contraction?
Actin and myosin
Difference between actin and myosin?
Myosin is a molecular motor that converts ATP to energy. Actin is responsible for cell movement and uses energy from the ATP conversion done by myosin..
What are the names of protein filaments in a muscle fiber?
Actin Filaments
How do proteins actin and myosin interact to make a muscle contract?
Myosin and Actin
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
What is actin or myosin-containing structure?
actin and myosin are myofillaments that make up myofibrils (part of a muscle fibre) (so therefore : muscle is an actin or myosin containing structure
What are the thick protein filaments in the cell made of?
The thick filament is composed of the myosin molecule. The thin filament is composed of the actin molecule. Flexing the head of myosin provides the powerstroke.
