Abstract excerpt
Cardiac muscle contraction is driven by the molecular motor myosin, which uses the energy from ATP hydrolysis to generate a power stroke when interacting with actin filaments, although it is unclear how this mechanism is impaired by mutations in myosin that can lead to heart failure. We have applied a fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) strategy to investigate structural changes in the lever arm domain...
