Abstract excerpt
The binding of Ca2+ ions within the troponin core of the cardiac thin filament (CTF) regulates normal contraction and relaxation. Mutations within the troponin complexes are known to alter normal functions and result in the eventual development of cardiomyopathy. However, despite the importance of the problem, detailed microscopic knowledge of the mechanism of pathogenic effect of point mutations and their...
