Research: MYOSINS Folding Project #17430

Project #17430 overview

Project Summary AI Beta

This project studies myosin proteins, which power muscle contractions and cell movements. Scientists want to understand how drugs could fix problems with myosin that cause heart diseases like cardiomyopathy and heart failure.

Official Project Description

This project simulates several myosins found in the human body.

Myosins are the proteins responsible for most of the force generated by the body, from the contraction of muscles to the movement of materials around the cell.

We are interested in understanding the mechanistic basis of drugs that might be used to treat defects in myosin, including hypertrophic and dilated cardiomyopathies as well as heart failure.

Myosin was featured as the PDB Molecule of the Month in June 2001.
