Abstract excerpt
Binding of two Ca2+ to the regulatory sites I and II of troponin C (TnC) induces a conformational transition believed to be responsible for the activation of muscle contraction. Based on the known crystal structure (2Ca2+ state), a model for the transition to the 4Ca2+ state has been proposed [Herzberg, O., Moult, J. & James, M. N. G. (1986) J. Biol. Chem. 261, 2638-2644]. The proposed conformational transition...
