Light-Triggered Myosin Activation for Probing Dynamic Cellular Processes

Light-Triggered Myosin Activation for Probing Dynamic Cellular Processes

Shining light on myosin: The incorporation of a caging group onto the essential phosphoserine residue of myosin by protein semisynthesis enables light-triggered activation of the protein (see picture). Caging eliminates the myosin activity, but exposure to 365 nm light restores its function to nativ...
