An individual sarcomere contains many parallel actin (thin) and myosin (thick) filaments. The interaction of myosin and actin proteins is at the core of our current understanding of sarcomere ...

It was first discovered in skeletal muscle, where actin filaments slide along filaments of another protein called myosin to make the cells contract. (In nonmuscle cells, actin filaments are less ...

We are studying the functions of molecular motors that exert directed force along actin filaments in mammalian cells. These motor molecules belong to the myosin superfamily. Different myosins show ...

The tubes, structurally supported by actin and myosin filaments, pulse with tiny contractions that drive cellular fluid through the network. This fluid motion can rapidly carry signals from one ...

Tropomyosin is a long protein that associates with actin, a highly conserved thin filament protein found ... peptide drugs designed to modulate actin-myosin or other interactions." ...

The actin filament exists as a structure of the fixed length and bears the muscle contraction and the adjustment on a muscular inside. The circulation and the molecule movements of the polymerization ...

Thin, flexible protein strands called actin filaments act like bones for our cells and are critical for its movement. Supercomputer simulations have helped solve a decades-old mystery of how actin ...

CP is a key regulator of actin, capping tightly to the dynamic end of the filament (the barbed end) to limit elongation. V-1 completely inhibits free CP from interacting with actin, whereas CARMIL ...
