Conformational changes within myosin lead to its movement relative to an actin filament. Several crystal structures exist for myosin bound to various nucleotides, but none with bound actin. Therefore, ...

In a new study, which appears in the Feb. 5 issue of Nature, researchers based at Hannover Medical School and the Max Planck Institute for Medical Research in Germany describe the engineering of an ...

Myosin-V processively walks on actin filaments in a hand-over-hand fashion. The identical structures of the heads predict a symmetric hand-over-hand mechanism where regular, unidirectional rotation ...

Cells use the polymerization of actin alone to create some types of movement, but many other forms of movement require interplay between actin and an enzyme called ...

JUPITER, Fla., Aug. 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Myosin Therapeutics, a biotechnology company developing novel therapies for aggressive cancers, today announced it has been awarded a $4.5M Phase IIB ...
