Inherent flexibility and protein function: The open/closed conformational transition in the N-terminal domain of calmodulin

The key to understand a protein's function often lies in its conformational dynamics. We develop a coarse-grained variational model to investigate the interplay between structural transitions, conformational flexibility, and function of the N-terminal calmodulin domain (nCaM). In this model, tw...
