Force and kinetics of fast and slow muscle myosin determined with a synthetic sarcomere-like nanomachine
Valentina Buonfiglio, Irene Pertici, Matteo Marcello +7
Myosin II is the muscle molecular motor that works in two bipolar arrays in each thick filament of the striated (skeletal and cardiac) muscle, converting the chemical energy into s…
