Great collaborative work led by Christopher Toepfer and his team at the University of Oxford
Assaying the myosin super-relaxed state across muscle types, cells and proteins for understanding muscle biology and use in drug discovery - Nature Protocols
The Mant-ATP assay is a simple and accessible means for rapid quantitative assessment of the ratio of super-relaxed myosin to disordered relaxed myosin. This protocol provides a standardized methodolo...

Some good news, myself and @simoesfilipa.bsky.social are advertising for a post-doctoral researcher to join us at the Oxford Organoid hub: tinyurl.com/OOHJob

Come and join us to develop novel human organoid systems as part of the MRC/BHF CRE in advanced cardiac therapies.
