The myosin superfamily consists of more than 35 classes (each consisting of multiple
isoforms) that have diverse cellular activities. The reaction pathway of the actin‐activated …

The swinging crossbridge hypothesis states that energy from ATP hydrolysis is transduced
to mechanical movement of the myosin head while bound to actin. The light chain-binding …

Networks of branched actin filaments formed by Arp2/3 complex generate and experience
mechanical forces during essential cellular functions, including cell motility and endocytosis …

The oxidation of aldehyde is one of the fundamental reactions in the biological system.
Various synthetic procedures and catalysts have been developed to convert aldehydes into …

Although amyloid fibrils are associated with numerous pathologies, their conformational
stability remains largely unclear. Herein, we probe the thermal stability of various amyloid …

In rat skeletal muscle the unloaded shortening velocity (Vo) is defined by the myosin isoform
expressed in the muscle fibre. In 2001 we suggested that ADP release from actomyosin in …

RNA helicase enzymes catalyze the in vivo folding and conformational re-arrangement of
RNA. DEAD-box proteins (DBPs) make up the largest family of RNA helicases and are found …

This paper describes the problems of measuring the allosteric ATP-inhibition of cytochrome
c oxidase (CcO) in isolated mitochondria. Only by using the ATP-regenerating system …

DEAD-box proteins are ATPase enzymes that destabilize and unwind duplex RNA.
Quantitative knowledge of the ATPase cycle parameters is critical for developing models of …

Complex forms of cellular motility, including cell division, organelle trafficking or signal
amplification in the auditory system, require strong coordination of the myosin motors …
