These proteins were largely involved in motor protein activity, forming the actin cytoskeleton, extracellular matrix ...

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 ...

The interaction of myosin and actin proteins is at the core of our current ... involved in regulating muscle contractions and motor behaviors, including calcium, troponin, and tropomyosin.

HCM impacts 1 in 500 Americans, but until now there has been no primary treatment, nor has there ever been a drug approved that binds and modulates the protein myosin, which is the motor driving heart ...
