The N-terminal comprises a globular head in the heavy chains, and the C-terminal ends with an alpha helix. The globular head region is also known as S1 (actin-binding site and nucleotide-binding site), and also contains mostly <scene name='Sandbox_Reserved_479/2mys_alpha_helices/1'>alpha helices</scene> that are critical to maintaining structure. The C-terminal end contains interspersed hydrophobic regions that give rise to a "coiled coil" structure.<ref name=" | The N-terminal comprises a globular head in the heavy chains, and the C-terminal ends with an alpha helix.
