In turn this triggers the sarcoplasmic reticulum to release calcium ions into the muscle interior where they bind to troponin, thus causing tropomyosin to shift from the face of the actin filament to which myosin heads need to bind to produce contraction.
3. calcium binds to troponin. 4. the troponin-calcium complex induces a conformational change in the actin-tropomyosin interaction, allowing myosin to bind to actin. 5. the actin-myosin binding allows the S 1 unit to move to the âunstrainedâ position, causing muscle contraction. During this process, ADP and Pi are released. The sequence of events during muscle contraction, contâd The binding of ATP to the S1 unit, and the immediate reaction producing ADP and Pi provides the free energy to move the S 1 unit into the âstrainedâ position.
