Role of the structural domain of troponin C in muscle regulation: NMR studies of Ca2+ binding and subsequent interactions with regions 1-40 and 96-115 of troponin I.

abstract：:Sulfenic acid is formed upon oxidation of thiols and is a central intermediate in the redox modulation of an increasing number of proteins. Methods for quantifying or even detecting sulfenic acid are scarce. Herein, the reagent 7-chloro-4-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazole was determined not to be suitable as a chromophoric ...
