Effects of Three Cardiomyopathic-Causing Mutations (D230N, D84N, and E62Q) on the Structure and Flexibility of α-Tropomyosin

Cardiac contraction at the level of the sarcomere is regulated by the thin filament (TF) composed of actin, alpha tropomyosin (TPM), and the troponin (Tn) complex (cTnT: cTnC: cTnI). The "gate-keeper" protein, α-TPM, is a highly conserved α-helical, coiled-coil dimer that spans actin and r...
