Cryo-EM structure of the folded-back state of human β-cardiac myosin
Abstract To save energy and precisely regulate cardiac contractility, cardiac muscle myosin heads are sequestered in an ‘off’ state that can be converted to an ‘on’ state when exertion is increased. The ‘off’ state is equated with a folded-back structure known as the interacting-heads motif (IHM), w...
