Scientific BackgroundCalmodulin is a small highly conserved protein with four functional calcium binding sites. Calmodulin undergoes conformational changes when it binds to calcium which can increase its affinity for target proteins. It acts directly, through interaction with key target enzymes, and indirectly, via specific kinases.
