Cardiomyopathy Mutations Impact the Power Stroke of Human Cardiac Myosin
2020-12-09
Abstract excerpt
Cardiac muscle contraction is driven by the molecular motor myosin that uses the energy from ATP hydrolysis to generate a power stroke when interacting with actin filaments, while it is unclear how this mechanism is impaired by mutations in myosin that can lead to heart failure. We have applied a Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) strategy to investigate structural changes in the lever arm domain of human β-...
