Molecular Basis of Contraction

Sliding Filament/Cross-Bridge Theory of
Muscle Contraction


ATP hydrolysis provides the energy for crossbridging and affects affinity of myosin for actin
Myosin has high affinity for actin when ADP and Pi
are bound; low affinity when ATP is bound
Myosin cycles between high- and low-affinity
states, making and breaking cross-bridges with
the actin filament
