Abstract excerpt
Troponin (Tn), consisting of three subunits (TnC, TnI, and TnT), regulates cardiac muscle contraction in a Ca2+-dependent manner. Various point mutations of human cardiac Tn are known to cause familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy due to aberration of the regulatory function. In this study, we investigated the effects of one of these mutations, K247R of TnT, on the picosecond dynamics of the Tn core domain...
