DOI: 10.1002/2211-5463.13379
Abstract: Myosin plays a fundamental role in muscle contraction. Approximately 300 myosins form a bipolar thick filament, in which myosin is continuously replaced by protein turnover. However, it is unclear how rapidly this process occurs and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/cm.22006
Abstract: Sarcomeres are the fundamental contractile units of striated muscle. The functional roles of the cardiac‐specific myosin heavy chains, MYH6 (α myosin II) and MYH7 (β myosin II) during sarcomere assembly remain controversial. To address this,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/jsfa.70341
Abstract: BACKGROUND The utilization of unwashed surimi presents a promising strategy for reducing water consumption and wastewater discharge during processing. However, the elevated levels of impurities, including water-soluble proteins, proteases and lipids, in unwashed surimi contribute… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/978-3-030-38062-5_2
Abstract: Directed movements on actin filaments within the cell are powered by molecular motors of the myosin superfamily. On actin filaments, myosin motors convert the energy from ATP into force and movement. Myosin motors power such… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00403-024-02955-9
Abstract: Myosin Va (Myo Va) is one of three protein complexes involved in melanosome transport. In this study, we identified BMP-2 as an up-regulator of Myo Va expression using 2-methyl-naphtho[1,2,3-de]quinolin-8-one (MNQO). Our results showed that MNQO… read more here.
