Stereochemical aspects of the interaction of myosin and actomyosin with nucleotides.

abstract：:Skeletal muscle fibers exhibit plasticity of their physiological and biochemical properties in response to the firing pattern from the innervating motor neuron. In particular, the gene expression pattern generally characteristic of a slow twitch fiber can be induced in a fast twitch fiber by chronic slow fiber type el...

abstract：:Cytokinesis is the mechanical process that allows the simplest unit of life, the cell, to divide, propagating itself. To divide, the cell converts chemical energy into mechanical energy to produce force. This process is thought to be active, due in large part to the mechanochemistry of the myosin-II ATPase. The cell's...
