Abstract
Background Calmodulin (CaM) plays an important role in Ca2+-dependent signal transduction. Ca2+ binding to CaM triggers a conformational change, forming a hydrophobic patch that is important for target protein recognition. CaM regulates a Ca2+-dependent inactivation process in store-operated Ca2+ entry, by interacting Orai1. To understand the relationship between Ca2+-induced hydrophobicity and CaM/Orai interaction, chimera proteins constructed by exchanging EF-hands of CaM with those of Troponin C (TnC) are used as an informative probe to better understand the functionality of each EF-hand. Results ANS was used to assess the context of the induced hydrophobic surface on CaM and chimeras upon Ca2+ binding. The exchanged EF-hands from TnC to CaM resulted in reduced hydrophobicity compared with wild-type CaM. ANS lifetime measurements indicated that there are two types of ANS molecules with rather distinct fluorescence lifetimes, each specifically corresponding to one lobe of CaM or chimeras. Thermodynamic studies indicated the interaction between CaM and a 24-residue peptide corresponding to the CaM-binding domain of Orail1 (Orai-CMBD) is a 1:2 CaM/Orai-CMBD binding, in which each peptide binding yields a similar enthalpy change (ΔH = −5.02 ± 0.13 kcal/mol) and binding affinity (Ka = 8.92 ± 1.03 × 105 M−1). With the exchanged EF1 and EF2, the resulting chimeras noted as CaM(1TnC) and CaM(2TnC), displayed a two sequential binding mode with a one-order weaker binding affinity and lower ΔH than that of CaM, while CaM(3TnC) and CaM(4TnC) had similar binding thermodynamics as CaM. The dissociation rate constant for CaM/Orai-CMBD was determined to be 1.41 ± 0.08 s−1 by rapid kinetics. Stern-Volmer plots of Orai-CMBD Trp76 indicated that the residue is located in a very hydrophobic environment but becomes more solvent accessible when EF1 and EF2 were exchanged. Conclusions Using ANS dye to assess induced hydrophobicity showed that exchanging EFs for all Ca2+-bound chimeras impaired ANS fluorescence and/or binding affinity, consistent with general concepts about the inadequacy of hydrophobic exposure for chimeras. However, such ANS responses exhibited no correlation with the ability to interact with Orai-CMBD. Here, the model of 1:2 binding stoichiometry of CaM/Orai-CMBD established in solution supports the already published crystal structure.

Abstract
Calmodulin (CaM), by mediating the stimulation of the activity of two adenylyl cyclases (ACs), plays a key role in integrating the cAMP and Ca(2+) signaling systems. These ACs, AC1 and AC8, by decoding discrete Ca(2+) signals can contribute to fine-tuning intracellular cAMP dynamics, particularly in neurons where they predominate. CaM comprises an α-helical linker separating two globular regions at the N-terminus and the C-terminus that each bind two Ca(2+) ions. These two lobes have differing affinities for Ca(2+), and they can interact with target proteins independently. This study explores previous indications that the two lobes of CaM can regulate AC1 and AC8 differently and thereby yield different responses to cellular transitions in [Ca(2+)](i). We first compared by glutathione S-transferase pull-down assays and offline nanoelectrospray ionization mass spectrometry the interaction of CaM and Ca(2+)-binding deficient mutants of CaM with the internal CaM binding domain (CaMBD) of AC1 and the two terminal CaMBDs of AC8. We then examined the influence of these three CaMBDs on Ca(2+) binding by native and mutated CaM in stopped-flow experiments to quantify their interactions. The three CaMBDs show quite distinct interactions with the two lobes of CaM. These findings establish the critical kinetic differences between the mechanisms of Ca(2+)-CaM activation of AC1 and AC8, which may underpin their different physiological roles.

Abstract
Ca(2+)-induced complex formation between calmodulin (CaM) and mastoparanX (MasX) was studied by a fluorescence spectroscopy and by a stopped-flow method. The measurements of the fluorescence anisotropy in the presence of calcium and the fluorescence titration with Ca(2+) revealed that the N- and C-domains of CaM bound cooperatively MasX, while the tryptic fragments of CaM (TR(1)C, 1-77 and TR(2)C, 78-148) bound independently MasX. The Trp-fluorescence stopped-flow experiments revealed that the Ca(2+)-induced binding of CaM and MasX was composed of two processes: one was a rapid binding of the N-domain of CaM to MasX, which was induced by the rapid Ca(2+) binding to the N-sites of CaM. The other was a slow biphasic process. Its fast phase was the binding of the C-domain of CaM to MasX, which was induced by the slow Ca(2+) binding to the C-sites. Interestingly, the kinetics of the slow process varied with the Ca(2+) concentrations. At the low Ca(2+) concentrations, its rate constant increased to around 20 s(-1) as the Ca(2+) concentration increased. At the high Ca(2+) concentrations, the Ca(2+)-induced binding of the C-domain of CaM to MasX proceeded at a constant rate around 20 s(-1). This suggested an existence of a rate-limiting step for the Ca(2+)-induced binding of the C-domain of CaM to MasX at the high Ca(2+) concentrations. The slow phase of the slow process may be a rearrangement of the CaM-MasX complex. These results led to our model of a molecular kinetic mechanism of the Ca(2+)-induced complex formation between CaM and MasX.

Abstract
Apparent Ca(2+)-binding constant (K(app)) of Caenorhabditis elegans troponin C (CeTnC) was determined by a fluorescence titration method. The K(app) of the N-domain Ca(2+)-binding site of CeTnC was 7.9+/-1.6 x 10(5) M(-1) and that of the C-domain site was 1.2+/-0.6 x 10(6) M(-1), respectively. Mg(2+)-dependence of the K(app) showed that both Ca(2+)-binding sites did not bind competitively Mg(2+). The Ca(2+) dissociation rate constant (k(off)) of CeTnC was determined by the fluorescence stopped-flow method. The k(off) of the N-domain Ca(2+)-binding site of CeTnC was 703+/-208 s(-1) and that of the C-domain site was 286+/-33 s(-1), respectively. From these values we could calculate the Ca(2+)-binding rate constant (k(on)) as to be 5.6+/-2.8 x 10(8) M(-1) s(-1) for the N-domain site and 3.4+/-2.1 x 10(8) M(-1) s(-1) for the C-domain site, respectively. These results mean that all Ca(2+)-binding sites of CeTnC are low affinity, fast dissociating and Ca(2+)-specific sites. Evolutional function of TnC between vertebrate and invertebrate and biological functions of wild type and mutant CeTnCs are discussed.

Abstract
A series of N-terminal calmodulin (CaM) mutants was generated to probe the relationship between the N-terminal Ca(2+) affinity and the number of paired, negatively charged Ca(2+) chelating residues in the N-terminal Ca(2+)-binding sites of CaM. When the number of acid pairs [negatively charged residues at positions +x and -x (X-axis), +y and -y (Y-axis), and +z and -z (Z-axis)] was increased from zero to one and then to two, a progressive increase was seen in the N-terminal Ca(2+) affinities. The maximal ranges of the increases observed in the N-terminal Ca(2+) affinity were approximately 8-8.5-fold for site I, approximately 4.5-5-fold for site II, and approximately 11-fold for both sites, in comparison to the mutants containing no acid pairs. The maximal values of N-terminal Ca(2+) affinity were bestowed by the presence of five acidic chelating residues in site I or II, individually. Addition of the sixth acidic chelating residue (third acid pair) to both N-terminal Ca(2+)-binding sites reduced the N-terminal Ca(2+) affinity. The increases in Ca(2+) affinity observed were caused by an increase in the Ca(2+) association rates for the Y- and Z-axis acid pairs, while the X-axis acid pair caused a reduction in the Ca(2+) dissociation rates.

Abstract
The kinetics of an electromagnetic field (EMF) target pathway are used to estimate frequency windows for EMF bioeffects. Ion/ligand binding is characterized via first order kinetics from which a specific electrical impedance can be derived. The resistance/capacitance properties of the binding pathway impedance, determined by the kinetics of the rate-determining step, define the frequency range over which the target pathway is most sensitive to external EMF. Applied signals may thus be configured such that their spectral content closely matches that of the target, using evaluation of the signal to thermal noise ratio to optimize waveform parameters. Using the approach proposed in this study, a pulsed radio frequency (PRF) waveform, currently employed clinically for soft tissue repair, was returned by modulation of burst duration, producing significant bioeffects at substantially reduced signal amplitude. Application is made to Ca2+/Calmodulin-dependent myosin phosphorylation, for which the binding time constants may be estimated from reported kinetics, neurite outgrowth from embryonic chick dorsal root explants and bone repair in a fracture model. The results showed that the retuned signal produced increased phosphorylation rates, neurite outgrowth and biomechanical strength that were indistinguishable from those produced by the clinical signal, but with a tenfold reduction in peak signal amplitude, approximately 800-fold reduction in average amplitude and approximately 10(6)-fold reduction in average power.

Abstract
The specificity of interaction of the isolated N- and C-terminal domains of calmodulin with peptide WFFp (Ac-KRRWKKNFIAVSAANRFK-amide) and variants of the target sequence of skeletal muscle myosin light chain kinase was investigated using CD and fluorescence. Titrations show that two molecules of either domain bind to 18-residue target peptides. For WFFp, the C-domain binds with 4-fold higher affinity to the native compared with the non-native site; the N-domain shows similar affinity for either site. The selectivity of the C-domain suggests that it promotes occupancy of the correct binding site for intact calmodulin on the target sequence. Far UV CD spectra show the extra helicity induced in forming the 2:1 C-domain-peptide or the 1:1:1 C-domain-N-domain-peptide complex is similar to that induced by calmodulin itself; binding of the C-domain to the Trp-4 site is essential for developing the full helicity. Calmodulin-MLCK-peptide complexes show an approximate two-fold rotational relationship between the two highly homologous domains, and the 2:1 C (or N)-domain-peptide complexes evidently have a similar rotational symmetry. This implies that a given domain can bind sequences with opposite peptide polarities, significantly increasing the possible range of conformations of calmodulin in its complexes, and extending the versatility and diversity of calmodulin-target interactions.

Abstract
The mechanism of dissociation reactions induced by calcium chelators has been studied for complexes of Drosophila calmodulin with target peptides, including four derived from the skeletal muscle myosin light chain kinase target sequence. Reactions were monitored by fluorescence stopped-flow techniques using a variety of intrinsic probes and the indicator Quin2. For most of the complexes, apparently biphasic kinetics were observed in several fluorescence parameters. The absence of any obvious relationship between dissociation rates and peptide affinities implies kinetic control of the dissociation pathway. A general mechanism for calcium and peptide dissociation was formulated and used in numerical simulation of the experimental data. Unexpectedly, the rate of the slowest step decreases with increasing [peptide]/[calmodulin] ratio. Numerical simulation shows this step could contain a substantial contribution from a reversible relaxation process (involving the species Ca2-calmodulin-peptide), convolved with the following step (loss of C-terminal calcium ions). The results indicate the potentially key kinetic role of the partially calcium-saturated intermediate species. They show that subtle changes in the peptide sequence can have significant effects on both the dissociation rates and also the dissociation pathway. Both effects could contribute to the variety of regulatory behavior shown by calmodulin with different target enzymes.

Abstract
Myosin light chain kinase and peptides from the calmodulin (CaM) binding domains of myosin light chain kinase (RS-20, M-13), CaM kinase II, and the myristoylated alanine-rich protein kinase C substrate protein slowed Ca2+ dissociation from CaM's N-terminal sites from 405 +/- 75/s to 1.8-2.9/s and from CaM's C-terminal sites from 2.4 +/- 0.2/s to 0.1-0.4/s at 10 degrees C. Since Ca2+ dissociates 5-29 times faster from the N-terminal in these CaM.peptide complexes and both lobes are required for activation, Ca2+ dissociation from the N-terminal would control target protein inactivation. Ca2+ binds 70 times faster to the N-terminal (1.6 x 10(8) M-1 s-1) than the C-terminal sites (2.3 x 10(6) M-1 s-1). In a 0.6-ms half-width Ca2+ transient, Ca2+ occupied > 70% of the N-terminal but only 20% of the C-terminal sites. RS-20 produced a 9-fold and CaM kinase II a 6.3-fold increase in C-terminal Ca2+ affinity, suggesting that some target proteins may be bound to the C-terminal at resting [Ca2+]. When this is the case, Ca2+ exchange with the faster N-terminal sites may regulate CaM's activation and inactivation of these target proteins during a Ca2+ transient.

Abstract
The linker regions of the central helices of calmodulin and of troponin C are observed to be alpha-helices in crystal and in solution. However, these linkers are predicted to be non-helical by standard algorithms. Further, there is strong evidence that when calmodulin interacts with some of its targets this linker helix bends. The linker appears to be delicately balanced between helical and non-helical conformations. A review of this subject suggests that one can anticipate more unpredicted conformations for the central helices of the score of other proteins that have four EF-hand domains.

Abstract
Calcium-independent calcium efflux from heavy sarcoplasmic reticulum (HSR) of skeletal muscle was found to be biphasic, with half-times of 2-6 s and 200-400 s for the first and second phase, respectively. Calcium-, AMP- and caffeine-induced calcium efflux was triphasic, with half-times of 0.05-0.2 s, 1-5 s and 100-400 s for the first, second and third phases, respectively. This very fast first phase is certainly due to calcium efflux via the calcium-release channel of HSR vesicles. Both ruthenium red and neomycin inhibited the first phase of the calcium-independent calcium efflux and the first phase of the calcium-, AMP- or caffeine-induced calcium efflux completely, whilst the second phase was fully inhibited by ruthenium red only and partially inhibited by neomycin at high concentrations, indicating that the second phase of calcium release also occurs via the calcium-release channel. Various models for calcium efflux through the release channel have been tested by simulation. Activation and inhibition of the channel-mediated calcium efflux from HSR cannot be explained by two states of the calcium-release channel (open or closed), but requires the existence of at least three states. A channel with one open state and two closed states, resulting in a rapid inactivation, is the most simple model compatible with the experimental data. According to this model, activation is assumed to reduce inactivation of the channel, whilst inhibition assumes an acceleration of channel inactivation. This mechanism most likely applies to neomycin. An additional open-blocked state has to be assumed for inhibition by ruthenium red.

Abstract
1. The intrinsic fluorescence of epoxysuccinyl-inhibited calpain II undergoes a Ca2(+)-dependent decrease which contrasts with the increase observed for calmodulin. 2. Calpain II was inhibited by the calmodulin antagonist toluidinylnaphthalenesulfonate (TNS), and a Ca2(+)-dependent increase in TNS fluorescence intensity was observed for epoxysuccinyl-inhibited calpain II. 3. The calmodulin antagonists calmidazolium CDZ and felodipine both caused decreases in the intrinsic fluorescence of epoxysuccinyl-inhibited calpain II. 4. Increasing concentrations of Ca2+ caused an increase in the fluorescence intensity of the inhibited enzyme in the presence of (CDZ), and a decrease in the presence of felodipine. 5. It is concluded from these studies that Ca2+ and calmodulin antagonists induce conformational changes in calpain II, and that changes occur in regions other than the Ca2(+)-binding domains.

Abstract
The effect of calmodulin on calcium release from heavy sarcoplasmic reticulum isolated from rabbit skeletal muscle was investigated with actively and passively calcium loaded sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles and measured either spectrophotometrically with arsenazo III or by Millipore filtration technique. The transient calcium-, caffeine- and AMP-induced calcium release from actively loaded sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles was reduced to 29%, 51% and 59% of the respective control value by 1 microM exogenous calmodulin. Stopped-flow measurements demonstrate that calmodulin reduces the apparent rate of caffeine-induced calcium release from actively loaded sarcoplasmic reticulum. The rate of calcium uptake measured in the presence of ruthenium red, which blocks the calcium release channel, was not affected by calmodulin or calmodulin-dependent phosphorylation of sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles with ATP[S]. The rate of the calcium-, caffeine- and AMP-induced calcium release from passively loaded sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles was reduced 1.4-2.0-fold by 1 microM exogenous calmodulin, i.e. the half-time of release was maximally increased by a factor of two, whilst calmodulin-dependent phosphorylation of a 57 kDa protein with ATP[S] had no effect. The data indicate that calmodulin itself regulates the calcium release channel of sarcoplasmic reticulum.

Abstract
Calcium release from isolated heavy sarcoplasmic reticulum of rabbit skeletal muscle by several calmodulin antagonistic drugs was measured spectrophotometrically with arsenazo III and compared with the properties of the caffeine-induced calcium release. Trifluoperazine and W7 (about 500 microM) released all actively accumulated calcium (half-maximum release at 129 microM and 98 microM, respectively) in the presence 0.5 mM MgCl2 and 1 mg/ml sarcoplasmic reticulum protein; calmidazolium (100 microM) and compound 48/80 (70 micrograms/ml) released maximally 30-40% calcium, whilst bepridil (100 microM) and felodipin (50 microM) with calmodulin antagonistic strength similar to trifluoperazine (determined by inhibition of the calcium, calmodulin-dependent protein kinase of cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum) did not cause a detectable calcium release, indicating that this drug-induced calcium release is not due to the calmodulin antagonistic properties of the tested drugs. Calcium release of trifluoperazine, W7 and compound 48/80 and that of caffeine was inhibited by similar concentrations of magnesium (half-inhibition 1.4-4.2 mM compared with 0.97 mM for caffeine) and ruthenium red (half-inhibition for trifluoperazine, W7 and compound 48/80 was 0.22 microM, 0.08 microM and 0.63 micrograms/ml, respectively, compared with 0.13 microM for caffeine), suggesting that this drug-induced calcium release occurs via the calcium-gated calcium channel of sarcoplasmic reticulum stimulated by caffeine or channels with similar properties.

Abstract
The dissociation kinetics of complexes of bovine alpha-lactalbumin and cod parvalbumin with Ca(II) and Mg(II) ions induced by mixing of a Ca(II)- or MG(II)-loaded protein with a chelator of divalent cations (EDTA or EGTA) have been studied by means of the stopped-flow method with intrinsic protein fluorescence registration. Within the temperature interval from 10 to approx. 37 degrees C kinetic curves for Ca(II) removal from alpha-lactalbumin are monoexponential with a rate constant ranging from 0.006 to 1 s. Taking into account the rather low rate of fluorescence changes, one can assume that the limiting stage in this case is the dissociation of the single bound Ca(II) ion from the protein and not a conformational transition which occurs after Ca(II) dissociation. At temperatures above 37 degrees C the kinetic curves require at least two exponential terms for a satisfactory fit. The second exponential seems to be due to denaturation of the apo form of alpha-lactalbumin which takes place at these temperatures. The values of the dissociation rate constants for Mg(II) bound to alpha-lactalbumin practically coincide with those for Ca(II). Within the temperature interval 10-30 degrees C the kinetic curves for Ca(II) and Mg(II) removal from parvalbumin are best fitted by a sum of two exponential terms identified as arising from the dissociation of cations from the two binding sites.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
The time decay of fluorescence anisotropy was monitored as a function of pH and temperature for complexes of 2,6-toluidinylnaphthalenesulfonate with calmodulin, with its proteolytic fragments, and with the 1:1 complex of calmodulin and melittin. For all the conditions examined the anisotropy decay of native calmodulin involved at least two rotational modes. These corresponded to a short correlation time of 2-3 ns, reflecting a localized motion in the vicinity of the binding site and a longer correlation time which arises from the rotation of a major portion of the molecule. The relative amplitudes of the two rotational modes were dependent upon temperature in the range 11-40 degrees C, the contribution of the more rapid mode increasing with temperature. The maximum immobilization of the probe occurred at pH 5.0 and 12 degrees C. While these results indicate the presence of internal rotations in Ca2+-liganded calmodulin, the magnitude of the longer correlation time is consistent with the crystallographic structure.

Abstract
The crystal structure of calmodulin has been determined to 3.6 A resolution. At this resolution the polypeptide chain can be traced. Some of the side chains have tentatively been identified. Refinement of the structure with x-ray diffraction data measured to 1.65 A resolution is continuing. As reported by Babu et al. calmodulin is about 65 A long and 30 A in diameter. Homolog domains 1 and 2 are related by a local twofold axis, as in parvalbumin and in troponin C, and form one end of the molecule. Domains 3 and 4 form the other end. The second alpha-helix of domain 2 and a short interdomain region are continuous with the first helix of domain 3, thereby forming a single helix from residues 67-93. The central region, residues 75-84, of this long helix forms a handle connecting the two pairs of homolog domains. Exclusive of the residues, 75-84, in the handle the closet approach of side chains of pair 1, 2 to pair 3, 4 is 12 A. The spatial relationship of pair 1, 2 to pair 3, 4 is similar in calmodulin to the relationship of the corresponding pairs in troponin C. However, in troponin C there are three additional residues in the handle region of the long alpha-helix and the two pairs are about 5.0 A further apart. On the surface of pair 1, 2 in calmodulin there is one extended region with many hydrophobic side chains from both domain 1 and domain 2. This hydrophobic patch is bounded by two distinct clusters of anionic side chains, one from the beginning of the first helix of domain 1 and on the other side of the hydrophobic surface one from the beginning of the first helix of domain 2. Homologously, the hydrophobic patch on the surface of pair 3, 4 is bounded by two clusters of aspartate and glutamate residues. Either or both of these hydrophobic surfaces may be sites to which calmodulin target proteins bind.

Abstract
Calcium dissociation from the C-terminal and N-terminal halves of calmodulin, intact bovine brain calmodulin and the respective phenoxybenzamine complexes or melittin complexes was measured directly by stopped-flow fluorescence with the calcium chelator Quin 2 and, when possible, also by protein fluorescence using endogenous tyrosine fluorescence by mixing with EGTA. Calcium dissociation from the C-terminal half of calmodulin, which contains only the two high-affinity calcium-binding sites, and from intact calmodulin was monophasic, with good correlation of the rates of calcium dissociation obtained by the two methods. The apparent rates with Quin 2 and endogenous tyrosine fluorescence were 13.4 s-1 and 12.8 s-1, respectively, in the C-terminal half and 10.5 s-1 and 10.8 s-1, respectively, in intact calmodulin (pH 7.0, 25 degrees C, 100 mM KCl). Alkylation of the C-terminal half resulted in a biphasic calcium dissociation (Quin 2: kobs 1.90 s-1 and 0.73 s-1 respectively; tyrosine: kobs 1.65 s-1 and 0.61 s-1 respectively). Alkylation of intact calmodulin resulted in a four-phase calcium dissociation measured with Quin 2 (kobs 85.3 s-1, 11.1 s-1, 1.92 s-1 and 0.59 s-1); the latter two phases are assumed to represent calcium release from high-affinity sites since they correspond to the biphasic tyrosine fluorescence change in intact alkylated calmodulin (kobs 2.04 s-1 and 0.53 s-1 respectively) and the rate parameters determined in the C-terminal half. Evidently perturbation of the calcium-binding sites by alkylation reduces the rate of calcium dissociation and allows a distinction to be made between dissociation from each of the two high-affinity sites as well as the distinct conformational change on dissociation of each calcium. Alkylation of the N-terminal half resulted in biphasic calcium release with rates (kobs 153 s-1 and 10.9 s-1 respectively) similar to those observed in intact alkylated calmodulin. The rates of calcium dissociation from calmodulin-melittin or fragment-melittin complexes, measured with Quin 2, were slower and monophasic in the C-terminal half (kobs 1.12 s-1), biphasic in the N-terminal half (kobs 140 s-1 and 26.8 s-1 respectively) and triphasic in intact calmodulin (kobs 126 s-1, 12.1 s-1 and 1.38 s-1). Calmodulin antagonists thus increase the apparent calcium affinity of high and low-affinity sites mainly due to a reduced calcium 'off rate', presumably because of conformation restrictions.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract
The kinetics of the Ca2+-dependent conformational change of the tryptic fragments F12 (residues 1-75) and F34 (residues 78-148) of calmodulin were studied by 1H-NMR. Resonances of two phenylalanines, 16 (or 19) and 65 (or 68), N epsilon, N epsilon, N epsilon-trimethyllysine-115 and tyrosine-138 were examined by the saturation-transfer technique or computer-aided line-shape simulation to obtain the rate of the conformational exchange between the Ca2+-free form and the Ca2+-bound form. The rates for F12 and F34 in the presence of 0.2 M KCl at 22 degrees C were 300-500 s-1 and 3-10 s-1, respectively. Activation parameters are as follows: Delta H not equal to = 11(+/- 2) kcal X M-1 and delta S not equal to = -9(+/- 5) cal X K-1 X M-1 for F12, and delta H not equal to = 16(+/- 2) kcal X M-1 and delta S not equal to = -2(+/- 5) cal X K-1 X M-1 for F34. These kinetic data for the conformational exchange are in agreement with those of Ca2+ dissociation from the binding sites obtained by 43Ca-NMR and stopped-flow fluorescence studies.
