Conformation-specific detection of calmodulin binding using the unnatural amino acid p-azido-phenylalanine (AzF) as an IR-sensor

Calmodulin (CaM) is a very conserved, ubiquitous, eukaryotic protein that binds four Ca2+ ions with high affinity. It acts as a calcium sensor by translating Ca2+ signals into cellular processes such as metabolism, inflammation, immune response, memory, and muscle contraction. Calcium binding to CaM...
