Many composite layup designs also include a co-curing or post-curing of the prepreg with various other media, such as honeycomb or foam. This is commonly called a sandwich structure. This is a more common layup for the manufacture of radomes, doors, cowlings, or non-structural parts.
Troponin is a protein that helps hold tropomyosin in place on the actin filament. A muscle contraction consists of a series of repeated events. First, calcium triggers a change in the shape of troponin and reveals the myosin-binding sites of actin beneath tropomyosin. Then, the myosin heads bind to actin and cause the actin filaments to slide. Finally, ATP breaks the actin-myosin bond and allows another myosin 'oar stroke' to occur. Repetition of these events causes a muscle to contract. Learning Outcomes. After this lesson, you'll be able to: Identify the structure of myosin and actin
This structure will form the cross bridge that binds to the thin filament. Actin is the main protein of the thin filament. A second protein, called troponin, is found at intervals. When Ca++ binds to troponin, this allows myosin heads to bind to the actin of the thin filament, creating cross bridges.
