Persistence Length of Human Cardiac α-Tropomyosin Measured by Single Molecule Direct Probe Microscopy

α-Tropomyosin (αTm) is the predominant tropomyosin isoform in adult human heart and constitutes a major component in Ca(2+)-regulated systolic contraction of cardiac muscle. We present here the first direct probe images of WT human cardiac αTm by atomic force microscopy, and quantify its mechanical...
