Abstract
Ca2+ binding to troponin and the resulting thin filament conformational change acts as a switch in striated muscle that enables crossbridges to bind to actin and cycle (Rüegg, 1986). This allosteric “Ca2+-switch” mechanism generates only two primary crossbridge states: free and attached (Huxley, 1957).
