Scope and Contents

Contents

Type II myosin motors generate cytoskeletal forces that are central to cell division, embryogenesis, muscle contraction, and many other cellular functions. However, at present there is no method that can directly measure the forces generated by myosins in living cells. Here we describe a Forster resonance energy transfer (FRET) based tension sensor...
