Distinct Calcium Binding and Structural Properties of Two Centrin Isoforms from <i>Toxoplasma gondii</i>

Distinct Calcium Binding and Structural Properties of Two Centrin Isoforms from <i>Toxoplasma gondii</i>

Centrins are calcium (Ca<sup>2+</sup>)-binding proteins that have been implicated in several regulatory functions. In the protozoan parasite <i>Toxoplasma gondii</i>, the causative agent of toxoplasmosis, three isoforms of centrin have been identified. While increasing inform...
