The cross-bridge enters the ATP binds to myosin allowing transient Rigor state detachment. Myosin in low E state. Myosin binding sites 4 Myosin filament ADP ATP 3 5 Pi lost. Myosin forms strong bond with ATP hydrolyzed. Myosin assumes high actin and performs the power stroke. E state & forms weak bond with actin.
