Abstract excerpt
Ryanodine receptors (RyRs) are large ion channels that are responsible for the release of Ca(2+) from the sarcoplasmic/endoplasmic reticulum. Calmodulin (CaM) is a Ca(2+) binding protein that can affect the channel open probability at both high and low Ca(2+) concentrations, shifting the Ca(2+) dependencies of channel opening in an isoform-specific manner. Here we analyze the binding of CaM and its individual...
