Research: MYOSINS Folding Project #17440

Project #17440 overview

Project Summary AI Beta

This project looks at different myosins in the human body. Myosins are proteins that power movement, like muscle contractions and cell processes. Scientists want to understand how drugs can fix problems with myosins, which cause heart conditions 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.
