1CM1, 1CM4 - PubMed Abstract: 
Calmodulin is a calcium-activated regulatory protein which can bind to many different targets. The protein resembles a highly flexible dumbbell, and bends in the middle as it binds. This and other motions must be understood to formulate a realistic model of calmodulin function.
