The myosin heads try to attach to form cross-bridges on the actin filament, however, it is normally covered by troponin and tropomyosin.
•
Calcium ions non-competitively inhibit the troponin so that it changes shape, moving troponin and tropomyosin away from the binding area, allowing cross-bridges to form.
•
The heads bend, moving the actin along (contraction). This is now a stable form.
•
ATP is required to bend the head back to it's orginal position, so it is hydrolysed into ADP + P.
•
Repeat if there are still Calcium ions around.
