PROJECT #18307 RESEARCH FOR MYOSINS
FOLDING PERFORMANCE PROFILE
PROJECT SUMMARY
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..
