Actin (IMAGE)
Caption
A structural illustration shows the protein leiomodin 2 (magenta ribbons) and two actin subunits (grey surface and green and orange ribbons) believed to play a part in nemaline myopathy. Researchers at Rice University and Baylor College of Medicine believe a mutation to the protein (shown as a yellow sphere) plays a role in causing muscle weakness in nemaline myopathy.
