The bridges protrude along the myosin filament at 143 Å intervals, offset by 120 degrees, and each one faces the actin filament (called the I filament) around the myosin filament. The head of the myosin molecule has ATPase activity, and it is thought that muscle contraction occurs when the cross-links of the myosin filament react with the actin filament while breaking down ATP. …
