Myosin necklace | 18k gold vermeil
The molecular motor that converts chemical energy into mechanical work — in 18k gold vermeil.
The Science of Myosin
Myosin is a superfamily of actin-based motor proteins. Class II myosin (conventional myosin) drives muscle contraction through the cross-bridge cycle: the myosin head binds actin, releases the power stroke upon Pi dissociation, detaches when ATP binds, and re-cocks into the pre-power stroke conformation after ATP hydrolysis. This cycle, repeated by thousands of myosin molecules per sarcomere, generates the coordinated force of a muscle contraction. Non-muscle myosin II also drives cytokinesis, cell migration, and tissue organisation.
