The response to Cu2+ appears to result from a binding of Cu2+ onto the myofibrillar complex, probably on myosin itself, as it can be reversed by soaking of the pretreated muscle sections in sodium cyanide or the Cu2+ chelator diethyldithiocarbamate.

Sodium azide (1 mM) and sodium cyanide (1 mM) can prevent reorientation, indicating that cellular energy is required for this event but this energy is not used by the actin-myosin system because the microfilament-disrupting drug cytochalasin D (50 microM) did not affect reorientation.
