Chapter
Novel Intermolecular Surface Force Unveils the Driving Force of the Actomyosin System
In this chapter, we discuss the role of water in actomyosin-force generation. We have been investigating the hydration properties of ions, organic molecules, and proteins. These studies revealed that actin fil...

Chapter
TRP Channels and Mechanical Signals
Transient receptor potential (TRP) channels are a unique cellular mechanism converting a wide variety of signals, including mechanical stress, to cation flow. The protein was first discovered in studies that e...

Chapter
Mechanosensitive Channel TRPV4
The transient receptor potential vanilloid 4 (TRPV4), a member of the TRP family that has a 6-transmembrane (TM) segment, was first identified as a hypoosmolality-activated Ca2+ permeable channel. The mechanism o...
