Decoding the molecular design principles underlying Ca(2+) binding to βγ-crystallin motifs.

Abstract excerpt

Numerous proteins belonging to the recently expanded βγ-crystallin superfamily bind Ca(2+) at the double-clamp N/D-N/D-X(1)-X(2)-S/T-S motif. However, there have been no attempts to understand the intricacies involving Ca(2+) binding, such as the determinants of Ca(2+)-binding affinity and their contributions to gain in stability. This work is an in-depth analysis of understanding the modes and determinants of...
