Dynamic coordination of the lever-arm swing of human myosin II in thick filaments on actin

H. Fukunaga, T. Washio, K. Fujita, M. Ohmachi, H. Takagi, K. Ikezaki, T. Yanagida, M. Iwaki

This study uses high-speed atomic force microscopy to observe myosin II lever-arm coordination in synthetic thick filaments, revealing how structural mismatches enhance contraction efficiency.

The synergic role of actomyosin architecture and biased detachment in muscle energetics: insights in cross bridge mechanism beyond the lever-arm swing

L. Marcucci, H. Fukunaga, T. Yanagida, M. Iwaki

This study combines experiments and simulations to show that geometrical hindrance and biased detachment synergistically enhance muscle contraction efficiency by increasing ATP-ase rate during contraction.
