Abstract excerpt
The unique biophysical properties of tryptophan residues have been exploited for decades to monitor protein structure and dynamics using a variety of spectroscopic techniques, such as fluorescence and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). We recently designed a tryptophan mutant in the regulatory N-domain of cardiac troponin C (F77W-cNTnC) to study the domain orientation of troponin C in muscle fibers using...
