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. This structure supersedes 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.
