Abstract excerpt
There is a necessary energetic linkage between ligand binding and stability in biological molecules. The critical glutamate in Site 4 was mutated to create two mutants of the C-domain of calmodulin yielding E140D and E140Q. These proteins were stably folded in the absence of calcium, but had dramatically impaired binding of calcium. We determined the stability of the mutant proteins in the absence and presence of...
