Abstract excerpt
S100 proteins are a family of small dimeric proteins characterized by two EF hand type Ca2+ binding motifs which are flanked by unique N- and C-terminal regions. Although shown unequivocally in only a few cases S100 proteins are thought to function by binding to, and thereby regulating, cellular target proteins in a Ca2+ dependent manner. To describe for one member of the family, S100A1, structural requirements...
