Zinc-dependent mechanical properties of Staphylococcus aureus biofilm-forming surface protein SasG.

abstract：:Junctions that mediate excitation-contraction (e-c) coupling are formed between the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) and either the surface membrane or the transverse (T) tubules in normal skeletal muscle. Two structural components of the junctions, the feet of the SR and the tetrads of T tubules, have been identified resp...
