Structure of the Flight Muscle Thick Filament from the Bumble Bee, <i>Bombus ignitus</i>, at 6 Å Resolution

Four insect orders have flight muscles that are both asynchronous and indirect; they are asynchronous in that the wingbeat frequency is decoupled from the frequency of nervous stimulation and indirect in that the muscles attach to the thoracic exoskeleton instead of directly to the wing. Flight musc...
