Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy disease results from disparate impairments of cardiac myosin function and auto-inhibition
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is caused by point mutations in sarcomeric proteins. Here the authors develop an optimized model of the sequestered state of cardiac myosin and define the features affecting the lever arm compliance, allowing them to group mutations in classes and to elucidate the m...

| Summary: | Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is caused by point mutations in sarcomeric proteins. Here the authors develop an optimized model of the sequestered state of cardiac myosin and define the features affecting the lever arm compliance, allowing them to group mutations in classes and to elucidate the molecular mechanisms leading to cardiac dysfunction in HCM. |
