Numbering of the kinetic rates and constants correspond to Scheme 1. Experimental conditions were as follows if not stated otherwise: 25 mM MOPS (pH 7.0), 100 mM KCl, and 5 mM MgCl2

* Thermodynamic coupling relating the affinity of ADP for actomyosin with the affinity of ADP for myosin

** ADP release rate enhancement by F-actin

*** Thermodynamic coupling relating the affinity of F-actin for myosin·ADP with the affinity of F-actin for myosin
