Abstract excerpt
Previous cryo-electron micrographs suggested that the skeletal muscle Ca2+ release channel, ryanodine receptor (RyR)1, is regulated by intricate interactions between the EF hand Ca2+ binding domain and the cytosolic loop (S2-S3 loop). However, the precise molecular details of these interactions and functional consequences of the interactions remain elusive. Here, we used molecular dynamics simulations to explore...
