Molecular motor protein
Molecular motor protein. Computer model showing the structure of a two-headed motor protein, Myosin V. Motor proteins convert chemical energy into mechanical movements in response to specific chemical stimuli. Myosins are a large family of motor proteins that are responsible for muscle contraction in eukaryotic tissues. Most myosin molecules are composed of a head, neck, and tail domain. Each domain serves a specific purpose in the action of myosin on actin filaments in muscles to bring about contractions

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a computer-generated model of a remarkable molecular motor protein called Myosin V. With its two-headed structure, this protein is responsible for converting chemical energy into mesmerizing mechanical movements in response to specific chemical stimuli. As part of the extensive family of myosins, it plays a crucial role in muscle contraction within eukaryotic tissues. The intricate design of Myosin V consists of distinct domains: the head, neck, and tail. Each domain serves a unique purpose in orchestrating the action of myosin on actin filaments found within muscles, ultimately leading to powerful contractions that enable movement. Through this stunning illustration, we delve into the fascinating world where biology meets mechanics and chemistry intertwines with compounds. The space-filled molecular model depicted here highlights the complexity and elegance behind these vital proteins that govern our muscular system. With its artistic flair and scientific precision, this artwork not only captures attention but also sparks curiosity about proteomics and biochemistry. It invites us to explore the wonders hidden within single molecules while appreciating their profound impact on our daily lives. Science Photo Library has once again delivered an exceptional visual representation that transcends mere commercial use by offering us an opportunity to marvel at nature's ingenuity through cutting-edge scientific imagery.
