Connecting Myosin to Actin
Sliding Filament Theory

? Myosin head then undergoes a

conformational change causing a "rachet

action" and pulls the actin filament to the

centre of the sarcomere.

? ADP and Pi are released by this process
? This is called the "power stroke" which

causes the sliding action
