Corrected the formatting of the page so it looks like the rest of the wiki. Cleaned up the references. Moved the material to the main calcium ion page.
 
Line 1: Line 1:
 Ca2+ ions play a important role in muscle contraction by creating interactions between the proteins myosin and actin. The Ca2+ ions bind to the C component of the actin filament, which exposes the binding site for the myosin head to bind to in order to stimulate a muscle contraction.
