Definite differences between in vitro actin-myosin sliding and muscle contraction as revealed using antibodies to myosin head.

Muscle contraction results from attachment-detachment cycles between myosin heads extending from myosin filaments and actin filaments. It is generally believed that a myosin head first attaches to actin, undergoes conformational changes to produce force and motion in muscle, and then detaches from a...
