The Myosin Light Chains and the Semi-Open Conformation

Myosin Essential Light Chain strucutre, including the protion of the heavy chain to which ELC is bound

Comparison of the relative dispositions of the helices in the two domains of ELC with those of the helices in the two domains of CaM. A black and white version also exists, as does another color version.

Analysis of differences in conformation of the N and C domains of myosin ELC, using distance difference matrices and inter-residue contact analysis.

Display of differences in conformation of the interfaces between helices I and II and between helices II and IV in the two domains of ELC, using the distance differences.

Display of differences in conformation of the interface between helices II and III in the two domains of ELC, using the distance differences.

Display of differences in conformation of the interface between helices III and IV in the two domains of ELC, using the distance differences.

Comparison of the differences between the two domains of apo calmodulin in the interface between helices II and III with the differences between the two domains of myosin ELC in the same interface

Proposed conformational changes induced by IQ-motif binding to myosin ELC-C
