Can a myosin molecule bind to two actin filaments?
Nature.
.
Abstract
It is suggested that in striated muscles the two heads of one myosin molecule are able to interact with different actin filaments. This would provide a simple explanation for the appearance and arrangement of cross-bridges in insect flight muscle in rigor.
