|
Myosin Heads
|
|
When myosin heads bind to thin filaments (when muscles contract) they form:
|
Rigor Bonds
|
|
When myosin heads are at rest they are charged with:
|
ATP
|
|
An enzyme embedded in the myosin head
|
Myosin ATPase
|
|
ATPase splits ATP (hydrolosis) to:

and Tropomyosin |
|
Binding sites on the thin filaments for myosin heads are called:
|
Myosin Binding Sites (MBS)
|
|
This protein covers the Myosin Binding Sites (MBS)
|

|
|
Tropomyosin shifts off troponin when:
