Myosin plays a role in the universal mechanism known as the actinomysin chemomechanical cycle. [[Actin]] binds and releases myosin, causing the myosin lever to interact and relax in a cyclic manner.<ref | Myosin plays a role in the universal mechanism known as the actinomysin chemomechanical cycle.
