Troponin
Proteins can cover the binding site of a receptor and prevent another molecule from binding to it. This interaction can inhibit the receptor's activity and affect cellular signaling pathways.
Allosteric regulation involves a molecule binding to a site on the enzyme that is not the active site, causing a change in the enzyme's shape and activity. Competitive inhibition involves a molecule binding to the active site of the enzyme, blocking substrate binding and enzyme activity.
In the sliding filament model of muscle contraction, the protein troponin has a calcium binding site on the troponin C subunit. When calcium binds to troponin C, it triggers a conformational change in the troponin-tropomyosin complex, allowing myosin heads to interact with actin and initiate muscle contraction.
sites hold tRNA molecules. The mRNA binding site is where the mRNA molecule binds and is read during translation. The tRNA binding sites are where tRNAs carrying amino acids bind and deliver them to the growing polypeptide chain.
Allosteric regulation involves a molecule binding to a site on the enzyme other than the active site, causing a conformational change that either activates or inhibits the enzyme. Noncompetitive inhibition involves a molecule binding to a site other than the active site, but it does not cause a conformational change. Instead, it blocks the active site, preventing substrate binding and enzyme activity.
Troponin binds to the Calcium ions to expose the actin to the myosin heads.
The binding of ATP to actin causes a conformational change that exposes the active site for myosin binding. This allows for the formation of cross-bridges between actin and myosin during muscle contraction.
Proteins can cover the binding site of a receptor and prevent another molecule from binding to it. This interaction can inhibit the receptor's activity and affect cellular signaling pathways.
The binding site is where a specific binding molecule and a specific receptor protein can combine. This combination can only occur at the binding site. All in the 9th grade text book

Calcium is the mineral needed for the active site on actin to be exposed. Calcium ions bind to regulatory proteins on actin filaments, causing a conformational change that exposes the active site for myosin binding during muscle contraction.
The active site of the enzyme has a shape that matches the specific shape of the maltose molecule, allowing them to bind together. This binding is important for the catalytic function of the enzyme, which helps break down the maltose molecule into smaller components.
Actin is the molecule that has a binding site for myosin heads. This interaction is crucial for muscle contraction as myosin binds to actin and generates force to cause muscle movement.
