Abstract
Heart and skeletal muscles of larger mammals contract more slowly than smaller ones. This study identifies amino acid changes in myosin isoforms that correlate with species size; mutating the residues in human β-myosin to match the rat sequence at these positions increased its in vitro velocity to that of the rat protein.
