Activation of smooth muscle myosin by smooth and skeletal muscle actins
FEBS Letters, 1981 It has been reported that actins from human uterine and from chicken gizzard smooth muscle are less effective than rabbit skeletal muscle actin in activating the Mg*+-ATPase activity of rabbit skeletal muscle myosin or heavy meromyosin (HMM, [ 1,2]). The difference has been shown to result from an -2-fold greater apparent dissociation constant (Kapp ...

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Functionally graded metal–ceramic femoral stems are engineered through continuous UMAT‐based stiffness tailoring, eliminating discrete material interfaces while enhancing biomechanical compatibility. Low‐index power‐law gradation optimizes load transfer, reduces stress shielding, and controls implant–bone micromotion, highlighting a materials‐design ...
