== Structural highlights:== Parvalbumin is primarily helical, consisting of six alpha helices, labelled, A, B, C, D, E, and F. The CD calcium binding loop binds one calcium ion (in green); the C and D helices encompassing this loop are light and dark green, respectively. The EF calcium binding loop binds one additional calcium ion (in green); the E and F helices, encompassing this loop are yellow and red, respectively. Note the small molecule shown is acetaldehye. ==
