Studies on the Mechanism of Action of Calmodulin

The major goal of this research was to cast some light on the fundamental principles underlying the mechanism of action of calmodulin (CaM). This was approached through the study of the interactions of CaM with Ca('2+)+CaM sensitive cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase (PDE) and with troponin I. Because CaM has been found to behave in a similar manner in most, if not all, of the systems in which it is a participant, information gathered with these systems may be of general relevance. The principal conclusions drawn from this research are summarized below.
