PEP-19 modulates calcium binding to calmodulin by electrostatic steering

The protein PEP-19 increases the rates of calcium binding to calmodulin. Here, the authors report the structure of PEP-19 bound to the C-terminal domain of calmodulin, and are able to propose a mechanism for the observed increased calcium association rate.
