Abstract

First of all, I should like to express my gratitude for the invitation, making it possible for me to participate in the celebration of the fortieth anniversary of the discovery of troponin by Professor Ebashi and his colleagues. This discovery opened up new vistas of the regulation of striated muscle contraction and the role of ionized calcium in it.
