Abstract
Calcium signaling pathways control a variety of cellular events such as gene transcription, protein phosphorylation, nucleotide metabolism, and ion transport. These pathways often involve a large number of calcium-binding proteins collectively known as the calmodulin or EF-hand protein superfamily. Many EF-hand proteins undergo a large conformational change upon binding to Ca(2+) and target proteins. All members of the superfamily share marked sequence homology and similar structural features required to sense Ca(2+). Despite such structural similarities, the functional diversity of EF-hand calcium-binding proteins is extraordinary. Calmodulin itself can bind >300 different proteins, and the many members of the neuronal calcium sensor and S100 protein families collectively recognize a largely different set of target proteins. Recent biochemical and structural studies of many different EF-hand proteins highlight remarkable similarities and variations in conformational responses to the common ligand Ca(2+) and their respective cellular targets. In this review, we examine the essence of molecular recognition activities and the mechanisms by which calmodulin superfamily proteins control a wide variety of Ca(2+) signaling processes.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
