- Eactin
- Which of the following statements about myosin and actin is CORRECT?
- AThe binding of calcium to troponin is necessary for the dissociation of the actin-myosin complex.
- BActin has ATPase activity.
- CThe binding of ATP to the actin-myosin complex promotes the formation of the complex.
- DThe binding of ATP to the actin-myosin complex promotes the dissociation of the complex.
- ETropomyosin has ATPase activity.
