tropomyosin
troponin

In muscle contraction, tropomyosin covers the myosin - binding sites on actin. Troponin is involved in the regulation of this process. When calcium binds to troponin, it causes a conformational change in troponin, which then moves tropomyosin away from the myosin - binding sites on actin. Nitrogen is not directly involved in this mechanism of preventing myosin from accessing actin.
