Trivalent lanthanide and actinide can strongly bind to calmodulin (CaM). The global structure of Ln/An-bound CaM were found to be similar to Ca-CaM but the local environment around Ln/An is distorted giving less structural rigidity to Ln/An-CaM.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
