Regulatory Mechanisms of Striated Muscle Contraction (eBook)
XIII, 407 Seiten
Springer Tokyo (Verlag)
978-4-431-38453-3 (ISBN)
This volume covers the entire spectrum of research on troponin and related muscle proteins, including pathophysiological and clinical aspects. It details recent advances in work on the genetic disorders of cardiac troponin and ryanodine receptor proteins. Many color figures illustrate the three-dimensional structures of the proteins involved in the muscle functions. The book will help readers understand characteristic features of the regulatory mechanisms of striated muscle contraction and their disorders at the molecular level.
