The new reconstruction was very detailed; we were all amazed with the level of detail that it showed. |
We have focused on the relaxed muscle to understand the structure of the thick filaments when they are not involved in contraction, but rather fully ordered--a state more amenable to understanding their structure. Solving the structure of the relaxed state will allow us to investigate how these filaments are activated when they are switched on. |

We have solved the structure of the array of miniature motors that form our muscles and found out how they are switched off. |
