This highly authoritative volume highlights the remarkable superfamily of molecular motors called myosins, which are involved in such diverse cellular functions

Myosins are a diverse superfamily of molecular motor proteins, which share the ability to reversibly bind actin and hydrolyse MgATP. They are capable of either

Myosins, actin-dependent molecular motors, are best known for their involvement in muscle contraction. However, besides classical (conventional) myosins, there

Karp continues to help biologists make important connections between key concepts and experimentation. The sixth edition explores core concepts in considerable
