title: Information transfer in the regulation of striated muscle contraction.
abstract: A brief review of current views on the regulation of striated muscle contraction is presented with emphasis on the transmission of the effect of calcium binding to the N-terminal domain of troponin C to the other components of the regulatory system. Results of recent work on chemical modification of troponin C as well as studies on crosslinking among thin filament components are discussed.
