    The document describes the ATP-powered cycle of muscle contraction. Myosin cross bridges form between myosin and actin filaments, then myosin performs a power stroke pulling the actin. New ATP attaches to myosin, causing the cross bridge to detach and myosin to return to its original state, powered by ATP hydrolysis.
