Seafood refers to several distinct groups of edible aquatic animals including fish,
crustacean, and mollusc. The two invertebrate groups of crustacean and mollusc are, for …

Coiled‐coils are found in proteins throughout all three kingdoms of life. Coiled‐coil domains
of some proteins are almost invariant in sequence and length, betraying a structural and …

Sarcomeres are force-generating and load-bearing devices of muscles. A precise molecular
picture of how sarcomeres are built underpins understanding their role in health and …

Mimicking filament sliding in sarcomeres using artificial molecular muscles such as [c 2]
daisy chains has aroused increasing interest in developing advanced polymeric materials …

Molecular necklaces have attracted much research attention due to their unique topological
structures. Although numerous molecular necklaces with exquisite structures have been …

Filamentous actin (F-actin) is the major protein of muscle thin filaments, and actin
microfilaments are the main component of the eukaryotic cytoskeleton. Mutations in different …

The actin filament is astonishingly well conserved across a diverse set of eukaryotic species.
It has essentially remained unchanged in the billion years that separate yeast, Arabidopsis …

Dynactin is an essential cofactor for the microtubule motor cytoplasmic dynein-1. We report
the structure of the 23-subunit dynactin complex by cryo-electron microscopy to 4.0 …

The interaction of myosin with actin filaments is the central feature of muscle contraction and
cargo movement along actin filaments of the cytoskeleton. The energy for these movements …

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is primarily caused by mutations in β-cardiac myosin
and myosin-binding protein-C (MyBP-C). Changes in the contractile parameters of myosin …
