  • Covers the entire spectrum of research on the regulatory mechanisms of skeletal and cardiac muscle contraction
  • Biomedical researchers will be especially interested in the recent advances in work on the genetic disorders of cardiac troponin and ryanodine receptor proteins, which are described in the book
  • Many color figures illustrate the three-dimensional structures of the proteins involved in the muscle functions (troponin, Ca-pump protein, molecular motor proteins, etc.)
  • Readers will derive from this book characteristic features of the regulatory mechanisms of striated muscle contraction and their disorders at the molecular level

Part of the book series: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology (AEMB, volume 592)
