3D Structure of Tropomyosin
The image at the top is a Tropomyosin from Sus scrofa (1c1g)
Tropomyosin
Tropomyosin (TPM) has a 4-helix coiled dimer structure. It regulates the binding of myosin thus regulating muscle contraction. In its locked conformation it binds troponin T (TnnT) and prevents the binding of myosin to actin. When Ca+ atoms bind to TnnT, the TPM assumes an open conformation and myosin can bind to actin.
