Abstract excerpt
Contraction in striated muscles is regulated by Ca2+-dependent movement of tropomyosin-troponin on thin filaments. Interactions of charged amino acid residues between the surfaces of tropomyosin and actin are believed to play an integral role in this steric mechanism by influencing the position of tropomyosin on the filaments. To investigate this possibility further, thin filaments were isolated from...
