It looks useful, but no part of the article presently refers to it. JFW | T@lk 10:44, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image

The new image looks somewhat amateuristic, IMHO. Anyone able to redraw it? JFW | T@lk 20:53, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

It's also fairly flawed because it implies that binding of four calcium ions is significant, when actually just one or two are regulatory, in cardiac or skeletal muscle, respectively. There is a lot of debate about the other two calciums, and they could well be replaced by magenesium in various biochemical contexts. I can redraw it, or we can perhaps duplicate an image from one of the open access journals. rmbh 02:45, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Troponin subunits

I suggest merging the 3 subunits and their descriptions into this article as a subtopic. Each article for the subunits are very short and would better contribute in this multimer complex article. Only when their descriptions are significant should they have their own link. LostLucidity (talk) 16:37, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
