Phosphorylation of smooth muscle myosin heads regulates the head-induced movement of tropomyosin on actin, as revealed by changes in fluorescence resonance energy transfer.
The study demonstrates that phosphorylation of smooth muscle myosin heads regulates the movement of tropomyosin on actin, providing insight into the molecular mechanics of smooth muscle contraction.
Does not inform clinical practice; hypothesis-generating for smooth muscle regulatory mechanisms.

Philip Graceffa (2000) studied this question. Phosphorylation of smooth muscle myosin heads was evaluated on Movement of smooth muscle tropomyosin on actin measured by fluorescence resonance energy transfer. Phosphorylation of smooth muscle myosin heads regulates the head-induced movement of tropomyosin on actin, as revealed by changes in fluorescence resonance energy transfer.
