"Troponomy" Natural Recordings by Native Speakers
The term "troponomy" is not a commonly used word in English, but it can be broken down into its roots to understand its meaning.
"Tropon" comes from the Greek word Τρόποι (tropoi), meaning "turning" or "change".
Adding the suffix "-my" (from the Greek μierarchical, mē-my, suffix that forms abstract nouns) to it, we can get a sense that the term relates to the study of conditions required for change to occur, the investigation of factors that cause transformation within a particular context.
According to written records, in biology, troponomy refers to the study of the conditions or circumstances required for change of form or structure in certain organisms, such as the eukaryotic actin-Tropomyosin-troponin system in muscle cell contraction or calcium-bound state of cardiac troponin within the heart muscle.

I couldn't find any word "tropologize" in my dictionary. It's possible that it's a misspelling or a very rare word.

A tropometer is a device used to measure the sag of a mathematical pendulum or an oscillating beam, typically with a reference to its isochronous or isochronism conditions, to instill an awareness of the geographical tilt with regards to a reference meridian.
Tropomyosin is a protein that plays a crucial role in muscle contraction. It is a long, coiled protein molecule that wraps around actin filaments in muscle cells. <br><br>When tropomyosin is in its native state, it lies tightly wound around the actin filament, covering the myosin binding sites on the actin filament and preventing myosin from binding to the actin. <br><br>When the muscle is stimulated to contract, a conformation change occurs in tropomyosin due to the binding of a muscle protein called troponin. <br><br>As a result of the conformation change, the part of tropomyosin that covered the myosin binding sites moves out of the way, exposing the myosin binding sites on the actin filaments and allowing myosin heads to bind to them.<br><br>Once myosin heads bind to the actin filaments, they use their cross-bridge mechanism to pull the actin filaments along the myosin filaments, leading to muscle contraction.<br><br>In essence, tropomyosin acts as a control thread, switching the actin filaments on or off to myosin heads, like a light switch.
A troponym is a word that consists of two determining elements, typically a prefix or a combining form and a root, usually used in reference to a dynamic verb.
Trospium is a medication used to treat overactive bladder. It works by blocking a specific type of acetylcholine receptor called the M3 muscarinic receptor, which contributes to bladder contractions. The medication, available under the brand name Sanctura, is typically taken orally and is effective in relieving symptoms of overactive bladder such as urinary frequency, urgency, and incontinence.
