Redox regulation of KV7 channels through EF3 hand of calmodulin
eLife, 2023 Neuronal KV7 channels, important regulators of cell excitability, are among the most sensitive proteins to reactive oxygen species. The S2S3 linker of the voltage sensor was reported as a site-mediating redox modulation of the channels. Recent structural

Mutation of the pseudo‐EF‐hand of calbindin D9k into a normal EF‐hand [PDF]
European Journal of Biochemistry, 1991 The two Ca2+‐binding sites in calbindin D9k, a protein belonging to the calmodulin superfamily of intracellular proteins, have sligtly different structure. The C‐terminal site (amino acids 54–65) is a normal EF‐hand as in the other proteins of the calmodulin superfamily, while the N‐terminal site (amino acids 14–27) contains two additional amino acids,

Assembling a hand-held trichotillometer and determination of epilation force in normal individuals
Indian Dermatology Online Journal, 2017 Aim: To assemble a simple, inexpensive hand-held trichotillometer and to determine the epilation force (EF) required to pluck the anagen hair and telogen hair from four regions of the scalp in healthy volunteers. Materials and Methods: A simple hand-held

EF-hand proteins in onychophorans as compared to tardigrades and other ecdysozoans
Journal of Limnology, 2013 To learn more about the regulation of muscle contraction in the structural and functionally different muscles in Ecdysozoa, we have analysed the four EF-hand proteins calmodulin (CaM), troponin C (TnC), essential myosin light chain (eMLC) and regulatory ...

Modulating uranium binding affinity in engineered calmodulin EF-hand peptides: effect of phosphorylation. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 To improve our understanding of uranium toxicity, the determinants of uranyl affinity in proteins must be better characterized. In this work, we analyzed the contribution of a phosphoryl group on uranium binding affinity in a protein binding site, using ...

Duplex Stainless Steel Laser‐Surface Textured: Stability in Brine Solution
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Controlled laser‐surface treatment (LST) of duplex DSS2205 steel is performed to increase its stability in brine solution under cyclic electrochemical assays. The superior protection with respect to flat and smooth panels is attributed to the presence of FeCr2O4 as the main protective oxide layer in the LST surface, after corrosion tests. The stability
