hey guys whts up.... i dont hav the answer so keep looking!
Myosin and Actin
Actin and myosin interact in muscle cells.
Actin and myosin interact in muscle cells.
The two contractile proteins of muscle are actin and myosin. Actin is a thin filament, while myosin is a thick filament. They interact with each other to generate the force required for muscle contraction.
The ability of myosin to interact with actin is regulated by the binding of calcium ions to troponin, which then allows tropomyosin to move away from the binding site on actin. This exposes the myosin-binding sites on actin, allowing myosin to bind and initiate muscle contraction.
The region in a sarcomere where actin and myosin overlap is called the A band. This is where the thick myosin filaments and thin actin filaments interact to generate muscle contraction.
The two contracting proteins are actin and myosin.
The two contracting proteins are actin and myosin.
Actin and myosin
Actin Filaments
form the structural units responsible for muscle contraction, known as sarcomeres. Actin filaments provide the thin filaments, while myosin filaments provide the thick filaments. When the myosin heads interact with actin during muscle contraction, the sarcomere shortens, leading to muscle contraction.
actin and myosin are myofillaments that make up myofibrils (part of a muscle fibre) (so therefore : muscle is an actin or myosin containing structure
