Figure 4.
FIGURE 4. Conformation of the heavy chain in the Physarum, scallop muscle and chicken skeletal muscle myosin RD, respectively. A least squares superposition of the long helical neck region from the Physarum (gray), scallop (blue; Protein Data Bank accession code 1wdc), and chicken (yellow; 2mys) myosins is shown. The Physarum RD shows the sharpest bend at the hook region (RLC interlobe interface) and the smallest bend at the ELC-RLC interface.
