The Pidissociation step has the largest negative free energy change, so it is presumed that energy derived from ATP binding and hydrolysis and stored in conformational changes in the myosin head is used to do work or dissipated as heat at this point in the reaction pathway. 5

Studies ATP muscle contraction was essentially an interaction of actomyosin and ATP To see them contract for the first time, and to have reproduced in vitro one of the oldest signs of life, motion, was perhaps the most thrilling moment of my life.
