What causes cross bridge detachment in after a power stoke?

ATP binds to the myosin head.


Which event causes cross bridge detachment?

The binding of ATP to the myosin head causes cross bridge detachment by disrupting the binding between myosin and actin. ATP provides the energy necessary for myosin to release from actin and reset for the next contraction cycle.


Does ATP cause the detachment of myosin from actin?

No, ATP does not cause the detachment of myosin from actin. ATP is used to fuel the cross-bridge cycle in muscle contraction, providing the energy needed for myosin heads to form cross-bridges with actin. Detachment of myosin from actin is facilitated by a conformational change in the myosin head when ATP is hydrolyzed.


What is the time in which cross bridges are active called?

The time in which cross bridges are active during muscle contraction is called the "cross-bridge cycle." This cycle involves the binding of myosin heads to actin filaments, power stroke generation, and detachment of the cross bridges.


What molecule must bind to to the cross bridge in order for it to disconnect with actin?

The cross-bridge must bind to ATP in order to disconnect from actin. When ATP binds to the cross-bridge, it allows for the power stroke to occur, leading to the dissociation of the cross-bridge from actin.
