Abstract
The ability for directed movement is a fundamental process of all livi ng systems. Molecules designed for such purposes are ubiquitous in euk aryotic cells and have been the focus of intense investigations for ma ny years. Highlighted in this report is the three-dimensional structur e of the myosin motor domain -the first such motor protein to be exami ned by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis.
