New research sheds light on the interaction between the semi-flexible protein tropomyosin and actin thin filaments. The study provides the first detailed atomic model of tropomyosin bound to actin and ...

Please provide your email address to receive an email when new articles are posted on . Genetics of CVD received a great boost in the 1990s with the discovery by Harvard’s Christine Seidman, MD, of ...

Tropomyosin binds to actin filaments and is implicated in stabilization of actin cytoskeleton. We examined biochemical and cell biological properties of Caenorhabditis elegans tropomyosin (CeTM) and ...

Tropomyosin, extracted from the leg muscle of frogs that had been injected with [32P]orthophosphate, was fractionated into two components, α and β , on a CM-cellulose column. Radioactivity was ...

Impact of Clonal Hematopoiesis–Associated Mutations in Phase I Patients Treated for Solid Tumors: An Analysis of the STING Trial Pooled clinical data from 17 pediatric cases (11 soft-tissue sarcomas, ...

Intermediate filaments (IFs) are critical parts of the structure of cells. They are essential for both normal tissue structure and function. Enabling cells to withstand the stretch and pressure on the ...

As temperatures drop, proteins tend to become more rigid. Not so for the muscles of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar). New research shows that the tail muscles of these powerful fish maintain flexibility ...

Tropomyosin, ein mit Actin assoziiertes Muskelprotein (M r ~ 70000). Zusammen mit Troponin und Myosin spielt es eine wichtige Rolle bei der Regulation der Kontraktionscyclen des quergestreiften ...

New research sheds light on the interaction between the semi-flexible protein tropomyosin and actin thin filaments. The study, published by Cell Press on February 15th in the Biophysical Journal, ...
