The mechanism of muscle contraction is considered. The hydrolysis of an ATP molecule is assumed to produce the excitation of hydrogen bonds A--H..-B between electronegative atoms A and B, which are contained in the myosin head and actin filament. This excitation energy ef depends on the interatomic
