Probing relaxed myosin states in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy by second harmonic-generation microscopy

This study explores the use of polarized second-harmonic generation (pSHG) to investigate myosin conformation in the relaxed state, differentiating between the actin-available, disordered (ON) state and the energy-conserving, ordered (OFF) state. By shifting the ON/OFF equilibriu...
