Computational Investigation of Calcium Binding Proteins Annexin A1 and Cardiac Troponin C
(East Carolina University, 2019-07-15)Calcium binding proteins are vital for many biological functions. Many undergo calcium induced conformation changes through sensing motifs, resulting in functional changes for the proteins. In this study computational ... -
The delta-14 Mutation of Human Cardiac Troponin T Enhances ATPase Activity and Alters the Cooperative Binding of S1-ADP to Regulated Actin
(East Carolina University, 2004-12-07)The complex of tropomyosin and troponin binds to actin and inhibits activation of myosin ATPase activity and force production of striated muscles at low free Ca2+ concentrations. Ca2+ stimulates ATP activity, and at ... -
The Distribution Of Regulated Actomyosin States Is Central To Cardiac Muscle Regulation And Disturbance Of This Distribution Leads To Congenital Cardiomyopathies
(East Carolina University, 2009)Hypertrophic and restrictive cardiomyopathies are congenital cardiac diseases that have an incidence of over one in five hundred and may lead to sudden cardiac death. One of the main impediments to directed treatment is ... -
Troponin-tropomyosin: an allosteric switch or a steric blocker?
(East Carolina University, 2002-08)The interaction of myosin subfragment 1 (S1) with actin-tropomyosin-troponin (regulated actin) is highly nucleotide dependent. The binding of S1 or S1-ADP (but not S1-ATP nor N,N - -phenylenedimaleimide-modified S1-ATP) ...
