Abstract excerpt
The molecular interactions of the sarcomeric proteins are essential in the regulation of various cardiac functions. Mutations in the gene MYBPC3 coding for cardiac myosin-binding protein-C (cMyBP-C), a multi-domain protein, are the most common cause of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). The N-terminal complex, C1-motif-C2 is a central region in cMyBP-C for the regulation of cardiac muscle contraction. However,...
