This review discusses recent developments in myofibrillar proteins, emphasizing the relation of protein structure to function in the contractile process and Ca-dependent regulation of muscle.
Recent developments in the field of myofibrillar proteins will be reviewed. Consideration will be given to the proteins that participate in the contractile process itself as well as to those involved in Ca-dependent regulation of striated (skeletal and cardiac) and smooth muscle. The relation of protein structure to function will be emphasized and the relation of various physiologically and histochemically defined fiber types to the proteins found in them will be discussed.
Leavis et al. (Sun,) conducted a review in Vertebrate Muscle Contraction. This review discusses recent developments in myofibrillar proteins, emphasizing the relation of protein structure to function in the contractile process and Ca-dependent regulation of muscle.
