In situ structures from relaxed cardiac myofibrils reveal the organization of the muscle thick filament
2023-04-11
Abstract excerpt
The thick filament is a key component of sarcomeres, the basic force-generating and load-bearing unit of striated muscle 1 . Mutations in thick filament proteins are associated with familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and other heart and muscle diseases 2, 3 .
