  • Zhang XZ, Jiang W, Trinick J, White HD (1999) Observation of transient disorder during myosin subfragment-1 binding to actin by stopped-flow fluorescence and millisecond time resolution electron cryomicroscopy: evidence that the start of the crossbridge power stroke in muscle has variable geometry.

  • ADP and P remain on the myosin heads while the heads attach to actin, forming cross-bridges  Power stroke - Release of ADP and P bends crossbridge sharply  Rigor mortis occurs because ATP is needed in order for the myosin heads to detach from actin filaments
