Myosin folding boosts solubility in cardiac muscle sarcomeres

The polymerization of myosin molecules into thick filaments in muscle sarcomeres is essential for cardiac contractility, with the attenuation of interactions between the heads of myosin molecules within the filaments being proposed to result in hypercontractility, as observed in hypertrophic cardiom...
