Identification of sequence changes in myosin II that adjust muscle contraction velocity.

Show other versions (1)

The speed of muscle contraction is related to body size; muscles in larger species contract at slower rates. Since contraction speed is a property of the myosin isoform expressed in a muscle, we investigated how sequence changes in a range of muscle myosin II isoforms enable this slower rate of musc...
