Identifying Mechanisms of Thin Filament Activation in Cardiac Muscle Contraction: The Effects of Myosin Cross-Bridges
Myocardial contractions are generated by the binding of myosin motor proteins to cardiac actin in the thin filament. This process is regulated by the binding of calcium ions to troponin C. When Ca2+ binds to site II of troponin C, the troponin complex undergoes a conformational change which displace...
