Chapter 10.6, Problem 30BYGO
Summary Introduction
To analyze:
The root cause of Duchenne muscular dystrophy and the normal function of dystrophin.
Introduction:
Muscular dystrophyis a cluster of diseases that cause progressive weakness and loss ofmusclemass. In muscular dystrophy, abnormal genes interfere with the production of proteins which required to make healthy muscles. Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a most common type of disease of Muscular dystrophy. Dystrophin is one of a group of proteins that is responsible for strengthen muscle fibers and protect them from injury as muscles contract and relax.

- Troponin C has been mutated such that it cannot bind to calcium. Describe the effect of this mutation on sarcomere shortening in skeletal muscle.
