Study Notes

Myosin Composition

Myosin is a hexameric protein composed of two heavy chains and four light chains.

Role of Amino Terminus

The amino terminus of myosin is the head region, which binds to actin and has ATPase activity.

Thick Filaments

Thick filaments in muscle cells are formed by the assembly of myosin molecules.

Thin Filaments

Thin filaments in muscle cells are formed by the assembly of actin molecules.
