Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy {beta}-cardiac myosin mutation (P710R) leads to hypercontractility by disrupting super relaxed state [Biochemistry]
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most common inherited form of heart disease, associated with over 1,000 mutations, many in β-cardiac myosin (MYH7). Molecular studies of myosin with different HCM mutations have revealed a diversity of effects on ATPase and load-sensitive rate of detachment from actin. It has been difficult to...
