STIM Structure — Caption

This is a protein chemist's depiction of the calcium-sensing region in two engineered STIM1 protein variants. The sites that were altered are highlighted in each case as red spheres. The behavior of these two engineered proteins provided key insights into how STIM1 detects changes in calcium levels
