atomic-resolution images of the motor protein myosin V as it "walks" along other proteins, revealing new structural insights that advance the current model of protein motility and muscle contraction.

Scientists are reporting the first 3-D images of an individual ... Within the complex structure of these proteins lies the secrets of their function, and perhaps keys to drugs that block the ...

In general, myosins are proteins responsible for muscle contraction. The three variants of myosin V studied ... Studies on the functions and regulation of these proteins were advancing slowly because ...

Boron, though required only in minimal amounts, is vital for plant development. It strengthens cell walls and supports the ...

However, these were static images of proteins taken out of the ... filament's molecular organization and thus into its function. The arrangement of the myosin molecules depends on their position ...
