Abstract excerpt
The possibility of selectively substituting one or more lanthanides into the four canonical calcium binding sites of calcium-loaded vertebrate calmodulin (CaM) was investigated by monitoring changes in the (1)H-(15)N HSQC NMR spectra of the (15)N-enriched protein upon titration with Yb(3+). The affinity of lanthanides for both N-terminal sites I and II is only moderately higher than that of calcium, and...
