Atomic images of muscle molecules in action have now been captured by researchers, giving possibility of new nanomachines. At the molecular level, muscle contraction is defined by myosin molecules ...

A team of biophysicists set out to tackle the long-standing question about the nature of force generation by myosin, the molecular motor responsible for muscle contraction. The key question they ...

At the molecular level, muscle contraction is defined by myosin molecules pulling actin filaments. New electron cryomicroscopy images with unprecedented resolution taken by researchers at Osaka ...
