Myosin: Motor Protein Overview by azadajuna is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Myosin is a motor protein essential for muscle contraction, first discovered in 1864. The sliding filament theory, which describes the interaction between myosin and actin, was proposed in 1954, and the structure of the myosin head was determined in 1993. Myosin has at least 18 different classes with specialized functions, including transporting cellular cargo along actin filaments.
