Population

Myosin fragments (heavy meromyosin and its monofunctional constituents) and polymeric actin

Design

Preclinical

Implication

Segmental flexibility of heavy meromyosin persists with actin; hypothesis-generating for contractile mechanics and should not yet change practice.

Population

Myosin fragments (heavy meromyosin and its monofunctional constituents) and polymeric actin

Intervention

Binding studies

Outcome

Local concentration of the second segment after the first of a pair is attached to the lattice

The study demonstrates that the large degree of segmental flexibility observed in free heavy meromyosin is maintained during its association with actin.
