Cryo-EM structure of the folded-back state of human β-cardiac myosin*
2023-04-18
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Summary</h4> During normal levels of exertion, many cardiac muscle myosin heads are sequestered in an off-state even during systolic contraction to save energy and for precise regulation. They can be converted to an on-state when exertion is increased. Hypercontractility caused by hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) myosin mutations is often the result of shifting the equilibrium toward more heads in the on-sta...
