Myosin ATPase explained
Myosin ATPase |
Ec Number: | 3.6.4.1 |
Myosin ATPase is an enzyme with systematic name ATP phosphohydrolase (actin-translocating).[1] [2] [3] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction:
ATP + H2O
ADP +
phosphateATP hydrolysis provides energy for actomyosin contraction.
