1 In the present study, we find that the metal cations La3+, Tb3+, Pb2+, and Cd2+ are all capable of abolishing the cooperativity (Hill coefficient = 2.0) among the two felodipine-binding sites on calmodulin and can increase the apparent affinity of calmodulin for felodipine by approximately 20-fold. tb3+ calmodulin 1 Homo sapiens

3 In each case, the calcium-binding sites of calmodulin must be occupied (by calcium, La3+, Tb3+, Pb2+, or by Cd2+) before these metals can bind to sites which are distinct from the calcium-binding sites to produce the active conformer of calmodulin which exhibits enhanced affinity for felodipine. tb3+ calmodulin 1 Homo sapiens
