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.
Muscle contraction happens only when the energy molecule called adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is present. ATP has three phosphate groups that it can give away, releasing energy each time.
