Non-muscle myosin II (NM II) is an actin-binding protein that has actin cross-linking and
contractile properties and is regulated by the phosphorylation of its light and heavy chains …

The cytoskeleton is an interconnected network that provides support and organization to
cells. In eukaryotes, its main components include actin and microtubules, two types of …

Das macht das Buch aus: Der „Silbernagel “, wie viele dieses Buch nennen, zeichnet sich
durch die grobe Unterteilung in die zahlreichen klar strukturierten Kapitel aus, die häufig …

Mavacamten, formerly known as MYK-461 is a recently discovered novel small-molecule
modulator of cardiac myosin that targets the underlying sarcomere hypercontractility of …

Cells use molecular motors, such as myosins, to move, position and segregate their
organelles. Class V myosins possess biochemical and structural properties that should …

Background The evolutionary history of organisms is expressed in phylogenetic trees. The
most widely used phylogenetic trees describing the evolution of all organisms have been …

All cells undergo rapid remodeling of their actin networks to regulate such critical processes
as endocytosis, cytokinesis, cell polarity, and cell morphogenesis. These events are driven …

Background Salt-soluble myofibrillar proteins (MPs) form the major protein component of
meat and have several advantages over plant-derived proteins, including high digestibility …

For many years, analyses of the role of the actomyosin cytoskeleton in many basic cellular
processes have centered on actin. Increasingly, however, a number of investigators are …

Lysosomes are membrane-bound endocytic organelles that play a major role in degrading
cell macromolecules and recycling their building blocks. A comprehensive knowledge of the …
