1. Plural of actomyosin; a protein complex formed by the interaction of actin and myosin filaments, responsible for muscle contraction and cell movement.
Usage: technical; biology; biochemistry

Examples

• Actomyosins are essential for the sliding filament mechanism that enables muscle contraction.
• The formation of actomyosins requires the presence of calcium ions and ATP.
• Researchers studied how actomyosins generate force at the molecular level.
• Actomyosins play a crucial role in cytokinesis, the division of the cell cytoplasm.
• The interaction between actin and myosin heads creates the actomyosins that power muscle movement.
