Cardiac muscle thin filament structures reveal calcium regulatory mechanism
The contraction of cardiac and skeletal muscles is regulated by Ca2+ released from the sarcoplasmic reticulum in muscle cells. Here the authors provide molecular insights into Ca2+ regulation of muscle contraction by determining the cryo-EM structures of the human cardiac muscle thin filament in the...
