Regulation of muscle contraction by Troponin C
It is generally believed that calcium binding to Troponin C (TnC) in striated muscle acts as a simple switch, enabling tropomyosin to unblock myosin-binding sites on actin filaments. TnC has two domains, each containing a pair of structurally homologous sites. The high-affinity Ca2 +/Mg2 + bindin...
