| Abstract | The initial contractile event in muscle is the binding of Ca2+ ions to troponin C of the troponin complex, leading to a series of conformational changes in the members of the thin and thick filaments. Knowledge of the crystal structure of turkey skeletal muscle troponin C has provided a structural basis for the modeling of the first stage of this process in atomic detail. This crystal structure probably represents the molecule in the relaxed state of muscle, with two of the maximum of 4 Ca2+ ions bound. The basis for the model presented here is that upon binding of the additional two Ca2+ ions, the regulatory domain of the molecule undergoes a conformational transition to become closely similar in structure to the domain which always binds Ca2+ or Mg2+ under physiological conditions. The root mean square discrepancy in atomic coordinates between the apo and the modeled Ca2+-bound states of the regulatory domain is 4.8 A, with some shifts as large as 10-15 A in the region near the linker between the two Ca2+ binding sites. It is demonstrated that this Ca2+-bound conformation of the regulatory domain conforms to accepted protein structure rules and that the change in conformation can be accomplished without encountering any barriers too high to be surmounted on the physiological time scale. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
