What are the differences between troponin and tropomyosin?
SudarshanaPanja
both subunit serve different functions troponin t binds to tropomyosin, interlocking them to form a troponin-tropomyosin complex... TnT or troponin t is increased in a subset of patients with unstable angina, and these may be at higher risk for subsequent cardiac events and is also a cardiac-specific protein released during cell injury such as that following acute myocardial infarction (MI).... while troponin i binds to actin in thin myofilaments to hold the troponin-tropomyosin complex in place and it has also been identified as an early and and specific marker in cardiac disease and it also elevates above the reference range within 6 hours of the onset chest pain then peaks at approximately 12 hrs. and can remain increased for up to 144 hrs. after the onset of any symptoms
or,
Troponin T is a Strip test whereas Troponin I is a lab test which is more sensitive

What happens when calcium binds troponin?
tropomyosin moves out of the groove between the actin molecules.
What is Troponin-tropomyosin complex?
Salam. This complex is the main constituent of the thin filament of myofibril. Tropomyosin does mask (tropomaskin) the actin so as to avoid any myosin attachment to actin until some calcium attaches to troponin and unmask the actin from the mask of tropomyosin.
Which molecules are involved with regulation of cross bridge attachment activity?
calcium ions, troponin, and tropomyosin
What happens during the power stroke?
in ic engine during poer stroke the high pressure combustible pushes down the piston and expands to produce power
What would happen if acetylcholine was released into a neuromuscular junction?
It attaches to its receptor, and binds. Causes another action potential, (calcium released) and it goes to the T-tubule of the Sarcoplasmic reticulum, and attaches to troponin, which moves the tropomyosin, so the myosin and actin and attach, and cause a muscle contraction.
What holds tropomyosin in place at rest?
troponin molecules.
What myofilaments contains troponin and tropomyosin?
cardiac
What happens when calcium binds troponin?
tropomyosin moves out of the groove between the actin molecules.
What blocks the binding sites on actin?
TROPOMYOSIN MOLECULES ( troponin hold the tropomyosin in place)
Are troponin and tropomyosin contractile or regulatory proteins?
contractile
What is considered to be a regulatory protein of the myofilaments?
Tropomyosin and troponin are called regulatory proteins because they act like a switch to determine when the fiber can contract and when it cannot.
What is the molecular composition of troponin?
Troponin is a major component of muscle tissue. It is composed of troponin C, troponin I, and troponin T. Troponin interacts with tropomyosin and myosin to create muscle contraction.
When a muscle is at rest the active sites on the actin are blocked by?
TROPOMYOSIN MOLECULES ( troponin hold the tropomyosin in place)
What regulatory proteins can be found on an actin molecule?
Tropomyosin and Troponin
What is Troponin tropomyosin complex?
Salam. This complex is the main constituent of the thin filament of myofibril. Tropomyosin does mask (tropomaskin) the actin so as to avoid any myosin attachment to actin until some calcium attaches to troponin and unmask the actin from the mask of tropomyosin.

What 2 proteins move muscles?
3 actually: actin, tropomyosin, troponin
