S1 head tilting model<br />

Huxley AF, Simmons RM. Proposed mechanism <strong>of</strong> force generation in striated muscle. Nature. 1971 Oct 22;233(5321):533-8<br />

The swinging lever arm model<br />

• Rigor-dissociation step: ATP binding → dissociation form the <strong>actin</strong> filament<br />

• Priming (back swing) <strong>of</strong> the lever arm<br />

• ATP hydrolysis: reattachment<br />

• Power stroke: force generating swing <strong>of</strong> the lever arm<br />

MECHANOCHEMICAL COUPLING!<br />
