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.
Steps of the ATP-PC system: 1. Initially ATP stored in the myosin cross-bridges (microscopic contractile parts of muscle) is broken down to release energy for muscle contraction. This leaves the by-products of ATP breakdown: adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and one single phosphate (Pi) all on its own.
