Abstract excerpt
In striated muscles, molecular filaments are largely composed of long protein chains with extensive arrays of identically folded domains, referred to as "beads-on-a-string". It remains a largely unresolved question how these domains have developed a unique molecular profile such that each carries out a distinct function without false-positive readout. This study focuses on the M-band segment of the sarcomeric...
