The plot indicates that myosin is not a transmembrane protein because it has few regions of sufficient hydrophobicity. Hopp-Woods hydrophilicity plot for mouse myosin. More hydrophilic regions have higher antigenicity and thus make better epitopes for antibodies. However, there are no major peaks in the plot, suggesting that no single region contains the best epitope. MacDNAsis prediction of the secondary structure for mouse myosin.

Relative similarities of myosin from five different species. Correspondence between amino acids is indicated as a percentage. Mouse and chicken myosin show the most similarity. Dashes indicate regions left out to maximize similarity among the species. Shaded amino acids are shared between two or more of the species.
