3ILA, 3IM5, 3IM6, 3IM7 - PubMed Abstract: 
Ryanodine receptors (RyRs) are channels governing the release of Ca(2+) from the sarcoplasmic or endoplasmic reticulum. They are required for the contraction of both skeletal (RyR1) and cardiac (RyR2) muscles. Mutations in both RyR1 and RyR2 have been associated with severe genetic disorders, but high-resolution data describing the disease variants in detail have been lacking ...
