In biochemistry, meromyosin (mero meaning `part of`) are subunits of the actin-associated motor protein, myosin, formed by trypsin digestion (proteolysis). Following digestion, two types of meromyosin are formed: heavy meromyosin (HMM) and light meromyosin (LMM). Light meromyosin has a long, straight portion in the `tail” region. Heavy merom...
