Calcium ions act as ubiquitous second messengers that regulate a myriad of cellular processes, and their decoding is chiefly mediated by the calcium-binding protein calmodulin. Upon binding calcium, ...

Using cryo-electron microscopy and mass spectrometry, researchers from PSI have deciphered the structure of an ion channel found in the eye while it interacts with the protein calmodulin—a structure ...

The ‘S39’ variety was screened for typical bolting characteristics in our lab. This variety was selected in this study as it is prone to bolting and is very sensitive to high temperature. When the ...

Variants in a gene that plays a key role in heart function can cause potentially life-threatening arrhythmia syndromes known as calmodulinopathy. Calmodulinopathy is rare and causes arrhythmias that ...

New insight into how the protein calmodulin interacts with an ion channel in the eye could explain how our eyes achieve remarkable sensitivity to dim light. Using cryo-electron microscopy and mass ...
