Abstract excerpt
The motor protein myosin in association with actin transduces chemical free energy in ATP into work in the form of actin translation against an opposing force. Mediating the actomyosin interaction in myosin is an actin binding site distributed among several peptides on the myosin surface including surface loops contributing to affinity and actin regulation of myosin ATPase. A structured surface loop on...
