A: Unfortunately, many long-term effects of medications are not known since many medications are not studied for over 6 to 12 months. Adderall (amphetamine/dextroamphetamine) is a medication that has been used for many years in the treatment of ADHD and narcolepsy.
Answer by Nicole Cooper. Confidence votes 32. The role ATP plays in muscle contraction is that ATP binds to sites on myosin heads, inducing a conformational change in the actin binding site and reducing the affinity for the actin substrate. Hydrolysis of ATP then cocks the myosin head and moves it closer to the z disk.
ATP is required for the biochemical reactions involved in any muscle contraction. As the work of the muscle increases, more and more ATP gets consumed and must be replaced in order for the muscle to keep moving. Because ATP is so important, the body has several different systems to create ATP.
