Is there anyone here who know something about the scallop myosin?

I think approximate concentration of myosin need to be mentioned in the article. Light&Truth 04:43, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

I arrived at this myosin site after discovering the Harvard illustrations shown in the address. Those animations are so informative and beautiful, they should be cited here. JK Wolf http://multimedia.mcb.harvard.edu/

[edit] Myosin II subtypes

Does anyone think it's relevant to describe the alpha and beta isoforms of myosin heavy chain? Because the ratio of alpha to beta in the sarcomere defines the relative contractility of the myocyte, and because this ratio depends upon species and developmental stage, I think it warrants a description. This is particularly relevant given the up-regulation of myosin heavy chain beta (fetal isoform) during the response to pressure overload on the heart (e.g. due to exercise or hypertension).
