Coordinated force generation of skeletal myosins in myofilaments through motor coupling

Skeletal muscle myosin forms large ensembles to generate force against high loads. Using optical tweezers and simulation Kayaet al. provide experimental evidence for cooperative force generation, and describe how the molecular properties of skeletal myosins are tuned for coordinated power strokes.
