If a researcher isolates skeletal muscle fibers and introduces a non-hydrolyzable ATP analog during a contraction experiment, which consequence follows?

💡 Explanation

A non-hydrolyzable ATP analog prevents the myosin head from detaching from actin after the power stroke because ATP hydrolysis is required for this detachment. Therefore, a persistent rigor state results, rather than detachment, because the cycle is interrupted.
