for the specific nature of this complex. Similar ESI-MS experiments have been<br />

performed on a range of CaM-binding peptides. The intensity of the complex<br />

vs free CaM reflects closely the K d measured in solution (full study to be published<br />

elsewhere).<br />

3.3. Conclusions<br />

ESI-MS is an effective tool for studying the properties of calcium-binding<br />

proteins. Information about stoichiometry, cooperativity, conformation, and
