- Activation of striated muscle: nearest-neighbor regulatory-unit and cross-bridge influence on myofilament kineticsJohn M Robinson
Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics, University of Alabama at Birmingham, 35294 0005, USA
J Mol Biol 322:1065-88. 2002..The model is an initial attempt to construct a general theory of striated muscle activation-one that can be consistently used to interpret data from various types of muscle manipulation experiments...
- The cardiac Ca2+-sensitive regulatory switch, a system in dynamic equilibriumJohn M Robinson

Biophys J 95:4772-89. 2008..110 kJ/mol/K), heat capacity change (DeltaC(p) = -7.6 kJ/mol/K), the enthalpy of activation (delta(double dagger) = 10.6 kJ/mol) and the effective barrier crossing attempt frequency (nu(adj) = 1.8 x 10(4) s(-1))...
- Switching of troponin I: Ca(2+) and myosin-induced activation of heart muscleJohn M Robinson
Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics, University of Alabama at Birmingham, Birmingham, AL 35294 2041, USA
J Mol Biol 340:295-305. 2004..Strong cross-bridges eliminate cooperativity and re-sensitize the CRS to Ca(2+). We propose a kinetic scheme and a structural model to account for these findings...
- Can Förster resonance energy transfer measurements uniquely position troponin residues on the actin filament? A case study in multiple-acceptor FRETJohn M Robinson
Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics University of Alabama at Birmingham, 35294 2041, USA
J Mol Biol 329:371-80. 2003..3A, laterally along the actin surface toward actin subdomain 3 by 22.0A, and azimuthally toward the actin inner domain by 13.2A. This information is used to construct a low-resolution structural model of thin filament activation...
- Physical limits on computation by assemblies of allosteric proteinsJohn M Robinson
Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics, University of Alabama at Birmingham, Birmingham, AL 35294, USA
Phys Rev Lett 101:178104. 2008..As a result, signaling fidelity and deactivation kinetics cannot be simultaneously optimized. This imposes an upper limit on the rate of information processing by assemblies of allosteric proteins that couple to a single ligand type...
