X-ray analysis reveals conformational adaptation of the linker in functional calmodulin mutants

Crystal structures of target peptide bound Ca 2+ -calmodulin linker helix mutants with the helix shortened by two or three residues, or replaced by the longer troponin C central helix, show that the major calmodulin-target structure is preserved at the expense of linker conformation.
