Altered cross-bridge properties in skeletal muscle dystrophies

Altered cross-bridge properties in skeletal muscle dystrophies

Force and motion generated by skeletal muscle ultimately depends on the cyclical interaction of actin with myosin. This mechanical process is regulated by intracellular Ca2+ through the thin filament-associated regulatory proteins i.e.; troponins and tropomyosin. Muscular dystrophies are a group of...
