Figure 3. Electrostatic potential surfaces of the CaM−target peptide complexes. In the upper panels, the surface of Ca ^2+ /CaM is shown with the target peptide as an yellow tube. The peptide surface is in the lower panels. The surface is colored according to the local electrostatic potential, with blue and red representing positive and negative potential, respectively. Acidic and basic residues interacting with the target peptide are labeled in red and blue, respectively. a, CaM−CaMKK; b, CaM−MLCK^19, ^20; c, CaM−CaMKII^21. The domain linker of CaM in the CaM−CaMKII complex was modeled in the Insight II, since residues 74−83 are absent from the PDB file because of the high flexibility of this region.
