Record 3 2012-01-24

English

Subject field(s)
  • Biochemistry
  • Biotechnology
CONT

During muscle contraction, the ATP-activated heads of the thick myosin filament swivel into position, much like the oars on a boat, form a cross-bridge with a reactive site on tropomyosin and then pull the actin filament foreward. During muscle relaxation the troponin molecules cover the reactive sites on tropomyosin.
