Obscurin and titin are made up of independently folded domains that can be studied individually. Both are comprised of mostly Ig (immunoglobulin) or FnIII (Fibronectin type III)- like domains, which are made of two beta sheets held together by a hydrophobic core. High resolution structures of a limited number of both titin and obscurin domains have been determined using both nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and X-ray crystallography. These structures have been complemented by low resolution methods such as small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM). Here, other high and low resolution structures not previously published will be presented …
