Abstract excerpt
Site-directed mutagenesis was used to make amino acid substitutions at position 54 of skeletal troponin C, testing a relationship between the stability of helix C and calcium ion affinity at regulatory sites in the protein. Normally, threonine at position 54 is the first helical residue, or N-cap, of the C helix; where helices C and D, and the loop between, comprise binding site II. Mutations were made in the...
