Abstract excerpt

Scanning microcalorimetry and circular dichroism were used to study conformational state and heat denaturation of Ca2+-free synthetic calmodulin (SynCaM) and three charge reversal mutants. We produced evidence for the major role of the electrostatic potential in the stability and flexibility of S...
