The three-dimensional structures of the truncated myosin head from Dictyostelium
discoideum myosin II (S1dC) complexed with MgAMPPNP, MgATPγS, and MgADP are …

KINESIN is a mechanoenzyme which uses energy liberated from ATP hydrolysis to transport
particles towards the'plus ends' of microtubules1–6. The enzyme consists of two polypeptide …

Collective motion of active matter is ubiquitously observed, ranging from propelled colloids
to flocks of bird, and often features the formation of complex structures composed of agents …

Myosin V is an unconventional myosin thought to move processively along actin filaments.
To have hard evidence for the high processivity, we sought to observe directly the movement …

MYOSINS are a functionally divergent group of mechanochemical enzymes involved in
various motile activities in cells1. Despite a high degree of conservation in the amino-acid …

The single-copy Drosophila muscle myosin heavy-chain (MHC) gene, located at 36B (2L),
has a complex exon structure that produces a diversity of larval and adult muscle MHC …

Conclusions Phallotoxins have been conjugated to four different fluorescent labels:
fluorescein, tetramethylrhodamine, nitrobenzoxadiazole and coumarine. Although endowed …

A new microscope technique, termed" W"(double view video) microscopy, enables
simultaneous observation of two different images of an object through a single video camera …

The two cardiac myosin heavy chain isoforms, α and β, differ functionally. α Myosin exhibits
higher actin-activated ATPase than does β myosin, and hearts expressing α myosin exhibit …

Human skeletal muscle fibers express five highly conserved type-II myosin heavy chain
(MyHC) genes in distinct spatial and temporal patterns. In addition, the human genome …
