When does the myosin head cock back to store energy for the next cycle?
After the myosin head detaches, energy from ATP hydrolysis is used to re-cock the myosin head.
What molecule directly supplies energy to myosin to allow the filaments to contract?
ATP
What is the crossbridge cycle?
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.
Are myosin filaments located in an A band?
Thick - it is the length of myosin.
What is the name of the regulatory protein?
myosin and actin
What converts the myosin head into the high-energy state?
ATP hydrolysis
When does the myosin head cock back to store energy for the next cycle?
After the myosin head detaches, energy from ATP hydrolysis is used to re-cock the myosin head.
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 do muscle fibers need to reset the myosin heads?
ATP binds myosin, allowing it to release actin and be in the weak binding state (a lack of ATP makes this step impossible, resulting in the rigor state characteristic of rigor mortis). The myosin then hydrolyzes the ATP and uses the energy to move into the "cocked back" conformation.
What substances causes the myosin head to change shape?
The myosin head changes shape mid-reaction, when the energy released by hydrolysis of ATP is absorbed by the myosin head.
How does myosin head obtain the energy required for activation?
The energy comes from the hydrolysis of ATP
An energy molecule that facilitates the sliding motion of actin and myosin?
ATP
What is the role of myosin APT ase in muscle contraction?
Myosin ATPase hydrolyze ATP into ADP+pi and yielding the energy required for muscle contraction.
What molecule directly supplies energy to myosin to allow the filaments to contract?
ATP
What is the compound that binds myosin and provides energy for the power stroke?
a flowery anus
