Membrane-associated c-type cytochromes from the green sulfur bacterium Chlorobium limicola forma thiosulfatophilum: purification and characterization of cytochrome c553.

abstract：:In the field of muscle regulation, there is still controversy as to whether Ca2+, alone, is able to shift muscle from the relaxed to the fully active state or whether cross-bridge binding also contributes to turning on muscle contraction. Our previous studies on the binding of myosin subfragment 1 (S-1) to the troponi...
