Abstract excerpt
Cardiac troponin C (cTnC) is the regulatory protein that initiates cardiac contraction in response to Ca2+ TnC binding Ca2+ initiates a cascade of protein-protein interactions that begins with the opening of the N-terminal domain of cTnC, followed by cTnC binding the troponin I switch peptide (TnISW). We have evaluated, through isothermal titration calorimetry and molecular-dynamics simulation, the effect of...
