Molecular mechanical differences between isoforms of contractile actin in the presence of isoforms of smooth muscle tropomyosin.
The proteins involved in smooth muscle's molecular contractile mechanism - the anti-parallel motion of actin and myosin filaments driven by myosin heads interacting with actin - are found as different isoforms. While their expression levels are altered in disease states, their relevance to the...
