Abstract excerpt
Although the role of tropomyosin is well-defined in striated muscle, the precise mechanism of how tropomyosin functions is still unclear. It has been shown that extension of either N- or C-terminal ends of sarcomeric tropomyosin do not affect cardiac myofibrillogenesis, but it is not known whether simultaneous extension of both ends affects the process. For studying structural/functional relationships of...
