Knut Langsetmo's Problem Solving Experience:

  1. I developed a method for co-expression of the myosin phosphatase targeting and catalytic subunits, allowing the crystal structure to be determined.
  2. I developed a method for expressing recombinant skeletal muscle actin—a feat that had been attempted for 20 years without success.
