For the simplest kinetic model the reverse rate constants (k−1andk−2) associated with ATP binding and cleavage on purified heavy meromyosin and heavy meromyosin subfragment 1 from rabbit skeletal muscle in the presence of 5mm-MgCl2, 50mm-KCl and 20mm-Tris–HCl buffer at pH8.0 and 22°C are:k−1<0.02s−1andk−1=16s−1. Apparently, higher values ofk−1andk−2are found with less-purified protein preparations. The values ofk−1andk−2satisfy conditions required by previous18O-incorporation studies of H218O into the Pimoiety on ATP hydrolysis and suggest that the cleavage step does involve hydrolysis of ATP or formation of an adduct between ATP and water. The equilibrium constant for the cleavage step at the myosin active site is 9. If the cycle of events during muscle contraction is described by the model proposed by Lymn & Taylor (1971), the fact that there is only a small negative standard free-energy change for the cleavage step is advantageous for efficient chemical to mechanical energy exchange during muscle contraction.
