This study explores the Lymn-Taylor cycle, examining the binding and hydrolysis of ATP by myosin during muscle contraction. We apply Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to reduce complex motion data into key components while preserving essential information. The Individual Involvement Coefficient is calculated to assess the contribution of significant structural elements during conformational changes in myosin. We summarize our findings and propose directions for future research in improving our understanding of molecular dynamics in muscle proteins.

Outline: • The Lymn-Taylor cycle • PCA method (theory & applications) • Individual involvement coefficient (theory & applications) • Summary • Future work
The Lymn-Taylor cycle • Myosin is bound to actin • (2) ATP binds to myosin and then myosin dissociates from actin • (3) Hydrolysis of ATP to ADP and Pi leads to a change in conformation for myosin • (4) Myosin rebinds to actin and actin is “rowed” past myosin with the release of the hydrolyzed products (ADP and Pi) Power-Stroke Recovery-Stroke Geeves & Holmes : Annu.

“Important” elements of S1-Myosin head in CLOSED conformation (ATP)
“Important” elements: P-Loop: red Converter Domain: green Relay-helix : cyan • calculate the % from the total variance (PCA) • calculate the individual involvement coefficients • for some of them visualize the first mode (VMD) Lever Arm : yellow SH1-Helix : pink Switch2: blue Switch2-Loop: white
„Important“ element: Converter-domain + lever-arm
Summary: • a good projection of the data is obtained with PCA • the mode with the largest contribution functionally relevant motion • to analyze the conformational change Individual Involvement Coefficient • the conformational change was decomposed into the motion of some structural elements.
