Dear student
The contractile regulatory proteins that mask and unmask active sites in the sarcomere are troponin and tropomyosin.
The two tropomyosin filaments run close to the actin filaments throughout its length.
The troponin units are distributed throughout the length of tropomyosin filaments and mask the active binding sites for myosin.
During muscle contraction, the increased calcium ion levels lead to their binding to a subunit of troponin and unmasking the active sites for myosin filaments.
