We apologize for Proteopedia being slow to respond. For the past two years, a new implementation of Proteopedia has been being built. Soon, it will replace this 18-year old system. All existing content will be moved to the new system at a date that will be announced here.

| - | + | Myosin is a type of motor protein, which are proteins that specialize in turning Chemical Energy to mechanical Energy. The protein is commonly found in muscle tissue and is used for motility in eukaryotes. In order for the process to work, myosin uses the subdomains in its head to locate and attach to actin filaments.ATP is brought into the myosin active site, where ATPase hydrolyze the ATP to ADP+Pi.The hydrolyzing leads to tighter binding of the myosin and actin filament.The release of the Pi also leads to even tighter binding.The binding of myosin and actin filament forms what is known as muscle contraction or simply contractions.An additional ATP can be added to the structure to release the actin and have the cycle repeated. | |
