Over het archief
Het OWA, het open archief van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium heeft tot doel alle vrij toegankelijke onderzoeksresultaten van dit instituut in digitale vorm aan te bieden. Op die manier wil het de zichtbaarheid, verspreiding en gebruik van deze onderzoeksresultaten, alsook de wetenschappelijke communicatie maximaal bevorderen.
Dit archief wordt uitgebouwd en beheerd volgens de principes van de Open Access Movement, en het daaruit ontstane Open Archives Initiative.

| Abstract |
Fast-acting muscle of the sandworm, Nereis virens, contains one soluble calcium-binding protein having a molecular weight close to 17 000 and occurring in the muscle at a concentration of approximately 0.1mm. The protein binds two Ca2+ at equivalent sites with dissociation constantKd=6.4·10−7m. Its N-terminal amino acid is blocked by an N-acetyl group whereas glycine is the C-terminal residue. The comparison of the tryptic peptide map of this protein with those of the soluble calcium-binding protein from crayfish muscle, bovine brain calmodulin and rabbit skeletal muscle troponin C suggests that all of these proteins are homologous. Sandworm calcium-binding protein therefore belongs to the so-called cytosolic calcium EF-hand family. This protein is presumably the functional counterpart of vertebrate parvalbumin acting as soluble relaxing factor. |
