Abstract excerpt
Calmodulin (CaM) plays a central role in cardiac excitation-contraction coupling by regulating ion channels, including the L-type calcium (Ca2+) channel Cav1.2 and the voltage-gated potassium (K+) channel Kv7.1. Mutations in CaM are linked to severe arrhythmogenic disorders such as Long QT syndrome (LQTS), yet the molecular mechanisms remain incompletely understood. Here, we investigate the structural and...
