Fig. 3. Mechanism of Ca 2+ -binding to calmodulin. The big circles correspond to<br />

Ca 2+ , the thether to the helices and connecting peptides. At the start, all sites but site<br />

III, are in a conformation of low affinity for Ca 2+ (LC conformation). After each Ca 2+ -<br />

binding step, one specific site acquires the high-Ca 2+ -affinity conformation (HC conformation).<br />

Numbers correspond to the Ca 2+ -affinity constants.
