No biological system has been studied by more diverse approaches than the actin-based molecular motor myosin. Biophysics, biochemistry, physiology, classical genetics and molecular genetics have ...

Numerous motor and structural proteins compose a highly ordered structure known as the sarcomere, the basic unit of muscle contraction in heart and skeletal muscles. Sarcomeric myosin heavy chain ...

The actin motor protein nonmuscle myosin II is enriched at vertical borders between neighboring cells along the A-P axis, which may prevent cells from moving in the wrong direction. Conversely, the ...
