title: The interaction of calmodulin with melittin.
abstract: Studies utilizing the interaction of melittin with the 1-106 fragment of calmodulin, the protection of calmodulin from tryptic digestion by melittin, and the interaction of the carbocyanine dye Stains-all with the calmodulin-melittin complex have indicated that complex formation of calmodulin with melittin involves the alpha-helical connecting bridge joining the N- and C-terminal lobes of calmodulin.
