High-resolution structural information is invaluable for understanding muscle function. Savich et al. use bifunctional spin labeling to determine the orientation of the myosin lever arm in muscle fibers at high resolution under ambient conditions https://t.co/7X8rW9x9hx
The plasma membrane is close to an Ising critical point, below which it would separate into two phases. Kimchi et al. explore the consequences for ion channel function using a lattice Ising model https://t.co/c0pBHyePDd #tbt
