Bipolar filaments of human nonmuscle myosin 2-A and 2-B have distinct motile and mechanical properties
Nonmusclemyosin 2 (NM-2) powers cell motility and tissue morphogenesis by assembling into bipolar filaments that interact with actin. Although the enzymatic properties of purified NM-2 motor fragments have been determined, the emergent properties of filament ensembles are unknown. Using single myosi...
