Myosin heads attach to actin by breaking down ATP to ADP and a phosphate via Myosin-ATPase The Myosin head forms a âcross-bridgeâ on the active site of the actin filament. The cross bridge pulls actin, which slides over the myosin â known as the âPower Stroke.â
Plantain (or Plantago Major) is a common backyard herb with broad leafs. Most people think of it as a weed, though it is an incredibly useful herb. According to Mountain Rose Herbs: âLegend has it that Alexander the Great discovered it and brought it with him back to Europe in 327 BCE.
Tannins present in the common plantain are astringent (a substance that brings tissues closer) in nature and this explains the herb's conventional use for tuberculosis, hemorrhage in the stomach and bowels, blood vomiting, diarrhea and colitis or inflammation of the colon.
