Tropomyosin binding and steady state WT and R205Q thin filament pCa curves. a Binding of WT (closed circles) and R205Q (open circles) troponin complex to pyrene-labeled tropomyosin. b Calcium sensitivity of the ANS-labeled thin filament in the absence of S1 at 23 °C. c Calcium sensitivity of thin-filament-activated ATPase activity of human β-cardiac myosin S1 at 30 °C. For both (b) and (c), each curve is the average of >10 individual curves, and error bars represent SEM. Each curve was individually fit by the Hill equation, as summarized in Table 2. The shaded gray region represents the average physiological Ca2+ range during a heartbeat [23, 24]
