Research: MYOSINS Folding Project #18302

Project #18302 overview

Project Summary AI Beta

This project looks at different types of myosin proteins found in our bodies. Myosins power muscle movements and cell activities. The project focuses on how fast and strong each type is, which can help us understand diseases like heart problems caused by faulty myosins.

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.

Although superficially similar, myosins actually differ substantially in their properties and distribution in the body.

This project is studying those differences, especially the differences in speed and power.

We are interested in how this might help us understand diseases that result from defects in myosin, including Usher syndrome and, especially, hypertrophic and dilated cardiomyopathies.

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