Abstract excerpt
One- and two-dimensional NMR techniques were used to study both the influence of mutations on the structure of recombinant normal cardiac troponin C (cTnC3) and the conformational changes induced by Ca2+ binding to site II, the site responsible for triggering muscle contraction. Spin systems of the nine Phe and three Tyr residues were elucidated from DQF-COSY and NOESY spectra. Comparison of the pattern of NOE...
