Actin Binding Protein, Myosin & related products
Speedy Motors: Fast Muscle Myosin Products.
Myosin II is selectively prepared from fast muscle only. It is supplied as a highly purified and
soluble protein.
NEM-Myosin II (inactivated motor activity at high actin binding activitiy) and Myosin S1 are prepared from
fast muscle myosin of identical quality as Myosin II.
Myosin and myosin S1 are supplied in a stable form as lyophilized proteins.
They are ready-to-use and fully functional after reconstitution.
For other myosin products - e.g. heavy meromyosin (HMM), actomyosin or smooth muscle myosin
(sm-myosin) - please contact us.
Motor Mix I & II are used to maintain either the soluble or insoluble (filamentous or aggregated) state of
myosin II.

Protein description

NEM-Myosin II is chemically inactivated fast muscle myosin from rabbit psoas
muscle. Myosin II is a hexameric, actin-binding ATPase with a total molecular
weight of 480kD in a head-and-tail conformation. Myosin II has two identical head
domains, where the actin binding sites are localized. It consists of two heavy chains
(each 220kD) and four light chains (ELC=essential and RLC= regulatory light chains).
