MYOSIN SUBFRAGMENT-1, ALPHA CARBON COORDINATES ONLY FOR THE TWO LIGHT CHAINS

Overview

Directed movement is a characteristic of many living organisms and occurs, as a result of the transformation of chemical energy into mechanical, energy. Myosin is one of three families of molecular motors that are, responsible for cellular motility. The three-dimensional structure of the, head portion of myosin, or subfragment-1, which contains both the actin, and nucleotide binding sites, is described. This structure of a molecular, motor was determined by single crystal x-ray diffraction. The data provide, a structural framework for understanding the molecular basis of motility.

About this Structure

2MYS is a Protein complex structure of sequences from Gallus gallus with MG and SO4 as ligands. This structure superseeds the now removed PDB entry 1MYS. The following page contains interesting information on the relation of 2MYS with [Myosin]. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA.
