Question

Explain the structure of meromyosin​

Answer 1

Answer:

each myosin filament is made of monomers of protein called meromyosin. each meromyosin has two regions - heavy Meromyosin(HMM), which is globular head with a short arm, and light Meromyosin (LMM), which is the tail. the globular head acts as an active ATPase, and it also has the binding site for actin

Answer 2

The structure of meromyosin​ is as follows:

• Myosin filaments are built up of monomers of the protein meromyosin.
• Heavy meromyosin (HMM), which is a globular head with a short arm, and light meromyosin (LMM), which is the tail, are the two regions of each meromyosin.
• The globular head is an active ATPase that also serves as an acting-binding site.
• The globular head and the short arm project outwards from the surface of the myosin filament at a constant distance and angle. The cross-arm is the name for this construction.
