Actin Myosin Molecular Crossbridge Animation
This animation shows the molecular interactions that occur within the skeletal muscle sarcomere between actin and myosin during skeletal muscle contraction.
Legend
- Moving blob and stick - myosin complex.
- Moving blob and stick - myosin complex with ATPase activation.
- Ball binding myosin and splitting - ATP losing a phosphate to form ADP.
- Twisted string of beads - actin helix.
- Blue string - tropomyosin.
- Beads stacked on large bead on blue string - troponin.
- Small ball binding troponin - Calcium ion (Ca2+).
- Grey pyramid - Magnesiun ion (Mg2+).
