Journal ArticleDOI
Solute perturbation of protein fluorescence. The quenching of the tryptophyl fluorescence of model compounds and of lysozyme by iodide ion.
TL;DR: The results of the model compound study provide evidence for a mechanism that follows the classical Stern-Volmer law (1919), predominantly involving collisional quenching, and illustrate the importance of local charge and solvent viscosity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dual effects of tropomyosin and troponin-tropomyosin on actomyosin subfragment 1 ATPase.
TL;DR: The results suggest a modification of the simple steric blocking theory of regulation, in which it is postulated that both of the Ca2+-dependent positions of tropomyosin on the thin filament block the formation of active acto-S1-nucleotide intermediates at low [S1], and in which tropomyOSin occupies a third "nonblocking" position in the active state at high [S2].
Journal ArticleDOI
The muscle thin filament as a classical cooperative/allosteric regulatory system
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compare the properties of the components of the muscle regulatory system with the corresponding components of two systems, hemoglobin and aspartate transcarbamylase, that are well described by the classical Monod, Wyman and Changeux (MWC) model.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dynamics of the muscle thin filament regulatory switch: the size of the cooperative unit.
TL;DR: Data indicate that the apparent cooperative unit for Tm.actin is 5-6 actin subunits rather than the minimum structural unit size of 7, and is increased to 10-12 subunits for Tn.Tn, independent of the presence of Ca2+.
