abstract：:We show that the calcium-mimic dye, Stains-all, is a convenient probe to study the structural features of the individual calcium-binding sites of calmodulin (CaM) and related calcium-binding proteins (CaBP). These peptides bind the dye in their calcium-binding sites, and induce a circular dichroism (CD) band in the bo...
