	Michael Guy Poirier Assistant Professor Department of Physics Research Division : Structural Biology and Molecular Biophysics Focus : Our research goals are to understand the basic mechanisms that control muscle relaxation and to engineer proteins that modulate these mechanisms. The speed of relaxation is determined by the rate of Ca2+ removal from the contractile elements and rate of cross-bridge detachment. Ca2+ removal is controlled by the rate of Ca2+: a) dissociation from the regulatory protein troponin C (TnC), b) uptake by a membrane bound Ca2+ pump and c) binding to the soluble protein parvalbumin. The aim is to understand the quantitative contribution of these factors to the rate of relaxation in different muscle types.
