The head of the myosin binds the ___________(a) ATP(b) ADP(c) Actin filament(d) NeurofilamentI have been asked this question at a job interview.My doubt stems from Cytoskeleton in chapter Cytoskeleton and Cell Motility of Cell Biology

Answer»

Correct choice is (c) Actin filament

To EXPLAIN I WOULD say: The head of the myosin binds to the actin filament and its tail binds and HYDROLYZES the ATP, to drive the myosin motor. The head domains of various myosins are similar whereas the TAILS are highly divergent.
