Abstract excerpt
Cardiac troponin C belongs to the EF-hand superfamily of calcium-binding proteins and plays an essential role in the regulation of muscle contraction and relaxation. To follow calcium binding and exchange with the regulatory N-terminal domain (N-domain) of human cardiac troponin C, we substituted Phe at position 27 with Trp, making a fluorescent cardiac troponin C(F27W). Trp(27) accurately reported the kinetics...
