Figure 6.1. The minimum actomyosin ATPase cycle reaction scheme.

Figure 6.1

The individual reaction steps and corresponding sections in which they are described are boxed and colored. For clarity, we have omitted some of the biochemical intermediates that are not significantly populated during steady-state ATP cycling in the presence of actin. The rate and equilibrium constants are defined as the reaction proceeds from left to right.
