Abstract excerpt
A mutant (M48Y) of chicken skeletal muscle troponin C was prepared in which Tyr replaced Met-48 of the recombinant protein (rTnC). Since Tyr and Trp are normally absent, spectral properties could be unambiguously assigned to the site of substitution. In the crystal structure, this residue lies at the COOH-terminal end of the B-helix of the N domain in a region postulated to undergo a significant conformational...
