Thermal Activation of Thin Filaments in Striated Muscle
In skeletal and cardiac muscles, contraction is triggered by an increase in the intracellular Ca2+ concentration. During Ca2+ transients, Ca2+-binding to troponin C shifts the “on–off” equilibrium of the thin filament state toward the “on” sate, promoting actomyosin interaction. Likewise, recent stu...
