Key result
The absence of Ca2+ ions decreased the distance between troponin I and actin by up to 11.5 Å, suggesting the C-terminal domain of troponin I moves to the outer domain of actin during inhibition.

Offers mechanistic insight into thin-filament inhibition; leaves open translation to human cardiac function or therapies.
The study suggests that the C-terminal domain of troponin I moves to the outer domain of actin during inhibition, while the C-terminal domain of TnC does not move much.
Miki et al. (1998) studied this question. Ca2+ ions vs. Absence of Ca2+ ions was evaluated on Distance between points on actin and troponin. The absence of Ca2+ ions decreased the distance between troponin I and actin by up to 11.5 Å, suggesting the C-terminal domain of troponin I moves to the outer domain of actin during inhibition.
