Research: MYOSINS Folding Project #17441

Project #17441 overview

Project Summary AI Beta

This project studies myosin proteins, which are essential for muscle movement and many other bodily functions. By understanding how these proteins work, scientists hope to develop new treatments for heart diseases like cardiomyopathies 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.
