Yes, muscle contraction requires ATP. ATP is indeed a critical requirement for muscle contraction, as it breaks the myosin-actin transverse bridge and releases myosin for the next contraction. Without ATP, the muscles would remain in their contracted state rather than in their relaxed state. Moo, E. K., Fortuna, R., Sibole, S. C., Abusara, Z., & Herzog, W. (2016).

The released phosphate binds to ADP and converts back to ATP. The newly formed ATP molecule binds to myosin, breaking the transverse bridge between the myosin and actin filaments and thus releasing myosin for the next contraction. Dick, T. J. and Clemente, C.

To prevent actin from binding to the active site of myosin, regulatory proteins block molecular binding sites. Troplomyosin blocks myosin-binding sites on actin molecules, prevents the formation of transverse bridges, and prevents contraction in a muscle without nerve entry. Troponin binds to tropomyosin and helps position it on the actin molecule; It also binds calcium ions. Ahn, A.

Integrate. 58, 219-231. doi: 10.1093/icb/icy040 Figure 1. The cycle of transverse muscle contraction triggered by the binding of Ca2+ to the active site of actin is shown. With each cycle of contraction, actin shifts relative to myosin. The muscle shortening movement occurs when the myosin heads bind to actin and pull actin inward. This action requires energy provided by ATP. Myosin binds to actin at a binding site on the globular actin protein.
Myosin has another binding site for ATP, where enzyme activity hydrolyzes ATP to ADP, releasing an inorganic phosphate molecule and energy in the process.

Cross-compression and work. In front of-. Physiol. 11:538522. doi: 10.3389 / fphys.2020.538522 Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the only fuel for muscle contraction. During almost maximum intense training, ATP muscle reserves are depleted in <1s, so ATP must be continuously resynthesized to maintain normal contractile function. During intense training (from about 75% VO2max to an almost maximum workload), this is mainly achieved by carbohydrate oxidation and anaerobic utilization of phosphocreatine (PCr) and carbohydrates. The relative contribution of carbohydrate oxidation to total energy supply is decreasing, while the proportion of anaerobic use is increasing.
During prolonged intense exercise (approximately 75% VO2max), glucose oxidation of skeletal muscle and liver glycogen stores is the main route of ATP resynthesis. It is generally accepted that the availability of carbohydrates limits performance during this type of exercise, as the point of depletion has been shown to be closely related to the depletion of muscle and liver glycogen stores. It is likely that carbohydrate deficiency prevents skeletal muscles from maintaining the required rate of ATP resynthesis and, therefore, work intensity must be reduced for training to continue. During short, almost maximum (0-30 s) exercise, anaerobic use of muscle PCr and glycogen promotes muscle contraction. There is evidence that fatigue during this type of exercise is related to the inability of type II fibers to maintain the very high rate of ATP resynthesis required. This is thought to be due to the rapid depletion of Type II PCr reserves and insufficient glycogenolytic levels to compensate for the decline in ATP production when PCr storage is depleted. In this situation, electricity production has to decrease due to insufficient energy supply. When actin binding sites are exposed, a cross bridge is formed; That is, the myosin head covers the distance between actin and myosin molecules. Pi is then released so that myosin can consume the stored energy as a conformational change.
