Abstract excerpt
The relationship between tropomyosin thermal stability and thin filament activation was explored using two N-domain mutants of alpha-striated muscle tropomyosin, A63V and K70T, each previously implicated in familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Both mutations had prominent effects on tropomyosin thermal stability as monitored by circular dichroism. Wild type tropomyosin unfolded in two transitions, separated by...
