COOPERATIVITY IN EF-HAND CA2+-BINDING PROTEINS: EVIDENCE OF SITE-SITE COMMUNICATION FROM BINDING-INDUCED CHANGES IN STRUCTURE AND DYNAMICS OF N56A CALBINDIN D9K
The EF-hands can be divided into two classes: signalling proteins and buffering/transport proteins. The first group is the largest and includes the most well-known members of the family such as calmodulin, troponin C and S100B. These proteins typica ...
The EF-hands can be divided into two classes: signalling proteins and buffering/transport proteins. The first group is the largest and includes the most well-known members of the family such as calmodulin, troponin C and S100B. These proteins typically undergo a calcium-dependent conformational change which opens a target binding site. The latter group is represented by calbindin D9k and do not undergo calcium dependent conformational changes.
