Vanadate-ADP inhibition of myosin ATPase should not change cardiac practice; leaves open refinement of cross-bridge kinetics in animal models.
Vanadate and ADP form a stable complex with myosin that inhibits actomyosin ATPase activity, acting as a stable analogue of the myosin-ADP-phosphate complex generated in the normal ATPase cycle.
Goodno et al. (1982) studied this question.
