Crystals of turkey skeletal muscle troponin-C reveal a molecule of two domains with an unusual structure. Two Ca2+ ions are bound to the C-terminal domain. The two cation-binding sites of the regulatory (N-terminal) domain are Ca2+ free; this domain adopts a markedly different conformation from the C-terminal domain. The two domains are connected by a long nine-turn alpha-helix; three of these turns are exposed fully to solvent.
