Cardiac and skeletal actin substrates uniquely tune cardiac myosin strain-dependent mechanics

Cardiac ventricular myosin (βmys) translates actin by transducing ATP free energy into mechanical work during muscle contraction. Unitary βmys translation of actin is the step-size. In vitro and in vivo βmys regulates contractile force and velocity autonomously by remixing three different step-sizes...
