Abstract excerpt
Reversible Ca2+ binding to troponin is the primary on-off switch of the contractile apparatus of striated muscles, including the heart. Dominant missense mutations in human cardiac troponin genes are among the causes of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and dilated cardiomyopathy. Structural understanding of troponin action has recently advanced considerably via electron microscopy and molecular dynamics studies...
