A myosin II nanomachine mimicking the striated muscle

There is interest in mimicking striated muscle for a range of applications including nanomachines. Here, the authors report on synthetic 1D nanomachines which are used to study an ensemble of myosin motors interacting with an actin filament with potential to create assays of muscle related diseases
