Myosin (Thick) Myofilament
{"Image DocumentName": "Myosin (Thick) Myofilament", "Image ImageDescription": "Many elongated myosin molecules shaped like golf clubs. Molecule consists of two heavy myosin molecules wound together to form a rod portion lying parallel to the myosin myofilament and two heads that extend laterally. Myosin heads. Can bind to active sites on the actin molecules to form cross-bridges. Attached to the rod portion by a hinge region that can bend and straighten during contraction. Have ATPase activity: activity that breaks down adenosine triphosphate (ATP), releasing energy. Part of the energy is used to bend the hinge region of the myosin molecule during contraction.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
