FIGURE 3. Representation of the four EF-hand motifs (EF-1,
EF-2, EF-3, EF-4). a, calcium-bound EF-hand motifs (EF-3 and
EF-4). Calcium ions and water molecules are represented as
yellow and red balls, respectively. An omit map, contoured at
the 7 level around each
calcium ion, is superimposed. Amino acid residues involved in
the calcium coordination are shown. b, calcium-unbound EF-hand
motifs (EF-1 and EF-2). Non-covalent interactions within
EF-hands are represented as dotted lines. In EF-2, residues
forming the hydrophobic core are also shown.
