During muscle contraction, myosin cross bridges attach to active sites of ACTIN FILAMENTS.
During Metaphase the protein strands that attach to the centromere region are called spindle fibres.
the correct answer is bone.
when sponge buds attach to its parent, a colony forms! next time, dont use this website, you'll will have to wait for a long time for your answer. just go to www.google.com thats where i found this answer -----HMalhi :)
it happens because it helps to keep the beaker stable with no shaking
To lay on it as in the way as your back attach with it at 0 degree.
myosin
During skeletal muscle contraction myosin cross bridges attach to active sites of actin filaments. Actin filaments bind ATP. Their growth is regulated by thymosin and profilin.
Myosin functions as an ATPase utilizing ATP to produce a molecular conformational change of part of the myosin and produces movement. Movement of the filaments over each other happens when the globular heads protruding from myosin filaments attach and interact with actin filaments to form crossbridges. The myosin heads tilt and drag along the actin filament a small distance (10-12 nm). The heads then release the actin filament and adopt their original conformation.
actin filaments
Actin filaments primarily interact with myosin heads during muscle contraction. Myosin heads attach to actin filaments through the formation of cross-bridges, enabling the sliding mechanism that results in muscle shortening. Additionally, actin can associate with other protein complexes, such as those involved in cellular movement and shape maintenance, but myosin is the primary motor protein interacting with actin in muscle cells.
For attachment of myosin heads to actin, calcium ions must bind to troponin, causing tropomyosin to move out of the way, exposing the binding site on actin. ATP then binds to the myosin head, leading to its activation and attachment to actin. For detachment, ATP is hydrolyzed, causing a conformational change in the myosin head that releases it from actin.
Myosin heads are activated prior to contraction through the binding of calcium ions to troponin, which causes a conformational change in the tropomyosin complex. This shift exposes the binding sites on actin filaments, allowing myosin heads to attach. Additionally, ATP binds to the myosin head, hydrolyzing to ADP and inorganic phosphate, which energizes the myosin head and prepares it for the power stroke during muscle contraction.
Myosin myofilaments are thick protein filaments primarily composed of myosin molecules, which play a crucial role in muscle contraction. Each myosin molecule has a long tail and a globular head, allowing it to interact with actin filaments during the contraction cycle. These myofilaments are organized in a way that enables sliding filament theory, where the myosin heads attach to actin, pull, and then release, causing muscle fibers to shorten and generate force. Myosin is essential for both skeletal and cardiac muscle function.
actin filaments in muscle cells during muscle contraction.
The two myofilaments that slide past one another to enable muscle contraction are actin and myosin. Actin makes up thin filaments while myosin forms thick filaments. During muscle contraction, myosin heads attach to actin filaments and pull them towards the center of the sarcomere, causing the muscle to shorten.
Proteins such as myosin, tropomyosin, and profilin attach to actin. Myosin is a motor protein that interacts with actin filaments to facilitate muscle contraction and cellular movement. Tropomyosin stabilizes actin filaments and regulates the access of myosin to actin during contraction. Profilin aids in the polymerization of actin and helps regulate its dynamics within the cell.
During muscle contraction, ATP attaches to the myosin heads of the thick filaments in the muscle fibers. When ATP binds to myosin, it causes the myosin head to detach from the actin filament, allowing for a new cycle of cross-bridge formation and muscle contraction to occur. The hydrolysis of ATP then provides the energy necessary for the myosin head to pivot and pull the actin filament, leading to muscle shortening.
