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 ...
Scientists have used the latest advances in microscopy to characterize how a motor protein helps cells crawl, according to a study published in the Journal of Cell Biology. Non-muscle myosin 2 is ...
It involves the formation of rapidly cycling crossbridges between actin filaments and myosin motor proteins. A multiscale model of muscle as a fluid-filled sponge suggests that hydraulics limits ...
