This biology image could be re-created using vector graphics as an SVG file. This has several advantages; see Commons:Media for cleanup for more information. If an SVG form of this image is available, please upload it and afterwards replace this template with
{{vector version available|new image name}}.
It is recommended to name the SVG file “EFhandmotif.svg”—then the template Vector version available (or Vva) does not need the new image name parameter. |
 | This biology image was uploaded in the JPEG format even though it consists of non-photographic data. This information could be stored more efficiently or accurately in the PNG or SVG format. If possible, please upload a PNG or SVG version of this image without compression artifacts, derived from a non-JPEG source (or with existing artifacts removed). After doing so, please tag the JPEG version with {{Superseded|NewImage.ext}} and remove this tag. This tag should not be applied to photographs or scans. If this image is a diagram or other image suitable for vectorisation, please tag this image with {{Convert to SVG}} instead of {{BadJPEG}}. If not suitable for vectorisation, use {{Convert to PNG}}.

Summary
| Description |
English: The helix-loop-helix EF-hand Ca2+ binding motif. (left) Cartoon illustration of the canonical EF-hand Ca2+-binding motif. The EF-hand motif contains a 29-residue helix-loop-helix topology, much like the spread thumb and forefinger of the human hand. Ca2+ is coordinated by ligands within the 12-residue loop, including seven oxygen atoms from the sidechain carboxyl or hydroxyl groups (loop sequence positions 1, 3, 5, 12), a main chain carbonyl group (position 7), and a bridged water (via position 9). Residue at position 12 serves as a bidentate ligand. (middle) The Ca2+ binding pocket adopts a pentagonal bipyramidal geometry. n stands for hydrophobic residue. (right) 3D structure of a typical canonical EF-hand motif from calmodulin (PDB code: 3cln). Ca3D structure of a typical canonical EF-hand motif from calmodulin (PDB code: 3cln). Ca3D structure of a typical canonical EF-hand motif from calmodulin (PDB code: 3cln). Calcium is chelated by ligands from a 12-residue loop. |
