Unraveling the fastest myosin: Discovery history and structure-function relationships of algae Chara myosin XI

Plant myosins have higher velocities than animal myosins. Among them, myosins in freshwater algae of the genus Chara have extremely high velocities. We have biochemically studied myosins that perform high-speed movements in the alga Chara. Our studies have elucidated the structural and enzymatic bas...
