Accessibility of myofilament cysteines and effects on ATPase depend on the activation state during exposure to oxidants.

Signaling by reactive oxygen species has emerged as a major physiological process. Due to its high metabolic rate, striated muscle is especially subject to oxidative stress, and there are multiple examples in cardiac and skeletal muscle where oxidative stress modulates contractile function. Here we...
