Question Answer
Step 1- Foreward Head hits new tubulin site Foreward head binds tightly and neck linker faces backwards
Step 2- ADP is released ADP is released and head is in stable 'nucleotide free' form
Step 3- ATP binds Neck linker binds to core motor of bound head
Step 4- Powerstroke Throws trailing head foreward so it binds to the next site
Step 5- ATP hydrolysis Pi is released, ADP bound head releases tubulin and the neck linker undocks
