Activation of the myosin head involves the hydrolysis of ATP to ADP and Pi, releasing energy that "cocks" the myosin head into a high-energy position.
1. Myosin hydrolyses ATP to ADP and Pi 2. Rxn releases NRG that is used to activate the head of myosin 3. Activated head moves to "cocked" high energy position
