Globular head of myosin contains

A

calcium ions in large quantities

B

troponin

C

ATPase enzyme

D

ATP

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Globular head of myosin contains an ATPase enzyme that along with `CO^(2+)` and `Mg^(2+)` ions catalyses the breakdown of ATP during muscle contraction. It also has binding site for ATP and active sites for actin.
