“…Furthermore, the fact that the release curves for peptides TnI 96 ± 148A1 and TnI 96 ± 148A7 are similar to that of TnI 96 ± 115 indicates that the interaction between the inhibitory region and TnC has not changed. As previously reported, it is believed that the inhibitory region interacts with the C domain of TnC (Cachia et al, 1983(Cachia et al, , 1986Chandra et al, 1994;Dalgarno et al, 1982;Drabikowski et al, 1985;Grabarek et al, 1981;Howarth et al, 1995;Jha et al, 1996;Kobayashi et al, 1994Kobayashi et al, , 1996Krudy et al, 1994;Lan et al, 1989;Leszyk et al, 1987Leszyk et al, , 1988Ngai et al, 1994;Slupsky et al, 1992;Swenson & Fredricksen, 1992;Tsuda et al, 1992;Wang et al, 1990;Weeks & Perry, 1978) and that the N domain, upon binding calcium, exposes a new hydrophobic surface area (Gagne et al, 1994(Gagne et al, , 1995Herzberg et al, 1986;. With the above results indicating that TnI residues 116 to 131 interact with TnC in a hydrophobic manner, these results strongly suggest that it is these residues that are interacting with the N domain of TnC.…”
