Myosin structure: does the tail wag the dog?

R Cooke1.   

Abstract

Previous crystal structures of the myosin head have shown two different conformations, postulated to be the beginning and the end of the actomyosin power stroke. A new crystal structure reveals a dramatically different conformation; but how does this conformation fit into the force-generating cycle of actomyosin interactions?
