Article Synopsis
- The contraction of striated muscles relies on myosin II interacting with actin filaments, which is driven by ATP, and this study explores that mechanism using a synthetic nanomachine made of myosin II dimers.
- This nanomachine can perform both isometric and isotonic contractions at low ATP concentrations, with maximum power output measured at 5 aW.
- The findings suggest that efficient muscle contraction occurs when at least 32 myosin heads work together, providing insights into muscle function while minimizing the interference from other cellular components.
