Abstract excerpt
Distinguishing the cellular functions carried out by enzymes of highly similar structure would be simplified by the availability of isozyme-selective inhibitors. To determine roles played by individual members of the large myosin superfamily, we designed a mutation in myosin's nucleotide-binding pocket that permits binding of adenine nucleotides modified with bulky N(6) substituents. Introduction of this...
