Halothane binds to druggable sites in the [Ca2+]4-calmodulin (CaM) complex, but does not inhibit [Ca2+]4-CaM activation of kinase

The mechanism(s) of volatile anesthetics (VA) are poorly understood. We used high resolution NMR spectroscopy to determine the structure of the halothane/calmodulin([Ca2+]4-CaM) complex, and found that halothane molecules bind in the druggable sites. We then examined whether VA binding to d...
