title: Actin-myosin interaction.
abstract: Recent advances in the study of muscle physiology was made possible by the application of novel experimental techniques including in vitro motility assay, molecular biology, and X-ray crystallography. A similar approach was successfully applied in studying the properties of cardiac actin-myosin interaction. Implication in clinical cardiology is also reviewed.
