Differences between fast and slow muscles in scallops revealed through proteomics and transcriptomics

Abstract Background Scallops possess striated and catch adductor muscles, which have different structure and contractile properties. The striated muscle contracts very quickly for swimming, whereas the smooth catch muscle can keep the shells closed for long periods with little expenditure of energy....
