Molecular Control Mechanisms in Striated Muscle Contraction

Molecular Control Mechanisms in Striated Muscle Contraction addresses the molecular mechanisms by which contraction of heart and skeletal muscles is regulated, as well as the modulation of these mechanisms by important (patho)physiological variables such

PREFACE Nowhere in biology is the marriage of structure and function as well expressed or understood as in the case of molecules that regulate the contraction and relaxation of striated muscles. In assembling what is known about these molecules, we have focused first on the processes that mediate Ca 2 + transients in both cardiac and skeletal muscles and then on the processes that translate the Ca 2+ signal to mechanical activity.
