β-Cardiac myosin hypertrophic cardiomyopathy mutations release sequestered heads and increase enzymatic activity

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) leads to hyper-contractility of the heart and is often caused by mutations in human β-cardiac myosin. Here authors show that four separate β-cardiac myosin mutations can modulate myosin activity by disrupting intramolecular interactions.
