Abstract:highly penetrant point mutations located within the cTnT N-terminus (R92L/W and I79N) which are associated with distinct phenotypes and severities. We employed stopped-flow to measure the rates of calcium association (kon) to and dissociation (koff) from IAANS-labeled cardiac troponin C in CTF systems of increasing complexity to explain similar changes in steady-state calcium sensitivity often associated with these mutations. We previously characterized mutation-specific differences in koff for these mutations… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
