Cardiac troponin I but not cardiac troponin T adheres to polysulfone dialyser membranes in an in vitro haemodialysis model: explanation for lower serum cTnI concentrations following dialysis. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Elevated serum cardiac troponin T (cTnT) and I (cTnI) can occur in patients with chronic kidney disease. Differences in cTn concentrations between cTnT and cTnI have been reported but the mechanism of such discrepancy has not been ...

Investigating the role of uncoupling of troponin I phosphorylation from changes in myofibrillar Ca(2+)-sensitivity in the pathogenesis of cardiomyopathy. [PDF]
Contraction in the mammalian heart is controlled by the intracellular Ca2+ concentration as it is in all striated muscle, but the heart has an additional signalling system that comes into play to increase heart rate and cardiac output during exercise or ...

The calcium sensitizer drug MCI-154 binds the structural C-terminal domain of cardiac troponin C
The compound MCI-154 was previously shown to increase the calcium sensitivity of cardiac muscle contraction. Using solution NMR spectroscopy, we demonstrate that MCI-154 interacts with the calcium-sensing subunit of the cardiac troponin complex, cardiac ...

ST2 and Multimarker Testing in Acute Decompensated Heart Failure [PDF]
Most data on heart failure biomarkers have been derived from patient cohorts with chronic disease. However, risk prediction in patients admitted with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) remains a challenge.

Bovine cardiac troponin subunits: binary complexes and reconstitution of whole troponin
The reconstitution of bovine cardiac troponin from its subunits has been investigated using hydrodynamic techniques. Gel filtration (Sephacryl S‐300) and sedimentation velocity experiments indicate that troponin‐C and troponin‐I from a stable binary complex (1:1 mole ratio) with an apparent Stokes' radius of 36 Å (frictional ratio = 1.6).

Development of a specific troponin I detection system with enhanced immune sensitivity using a single monoclonal antibody [PDF]
Using an immunoassay in combination with surface plasmon fluorescence spectroscopy (SPFS), we report the rapid detection of troponin I, a valuable biomarker for diagnosis of myocardial infarction.

Troponins, Acute Coronary Syndrome and Renal Disease: From Acute Kidney Injury Through End-stage Kidney Disease [PDF]
The diagnosis of acute coronary syndromes (ACS) is heavily dependent on cardiac biomarker assays, particularly cardiac troponins. ACS, particularly non-ST segment elevation MI, are more common in patients with acute kidney injury, chronic kidney disease (

Dynamics and calcium association to the N-terminal regulatory domain of human cardiac troponin C: a multiscale computational study. [PDF]
Troponin C (TnC) is an important regulatory molecule in cardiomyocytes. Calcium binding to site II in TnC initiates a series of molecular events that result in muscle contraction.

Distance distributions and anisotropy decays of troponin C and its complex with troponin I [PDF]
We used frequency domain measurements of fluorescence resonance energy transfer to recover the distribution of distances between Met 25 and Cys 98 in rabbit skeletal troponin C. These residues were labeled with dansylaziridine as energy donor and 5-(iodoacetamido)eosin as acceptor and are located on the N- and C-terminal lobes of the two-domain protein,
