Actin binding sites lie on tail of myosin/head of myosin.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understand the Structure of Myosin**: Myosin is a motor protein that plays a crucial role in muscle contraction. It consists of a long tail and a globular head. 2. **Identify the Function of Myosin**: Myosin interacts with actin filaments to facilitate muscle contraction. This interaction is essential for the sliding filament theory of muscle contraction. 3. **Locate the Actin Binding Sites**: The actin binding sites are specifically located on the head of the myosin molecule. This is where myosin attaches to actin filaments during the contraction process. ...
