Abstract excerpt
We have investigated the functional impact on cardiac myofibril organization and myosin motor activity of point mutations associated with familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathies (FHC). Embryonic chicken cardiomyocytes were transfected with vectors encoding green fluorescent protein (GFP) fused to a striated muscle myosin heavy chain (GFP-myosin). Within 24 hours of transfection, the GFP-myosin is found...
