The target molecule here (shown in blue) is the calmodulin-regulated enzyme, myosin light chain kinase. Only a short sequence from this protein, the calmodulin binding domain, is shown.

In this view, <scene name='54/541097/Active_calmodulin/3'>polar and non-polar residues</scene> are coloured in order to highlight the hydrophobic interior of the molecule, which forms the binding site for the myosin light chain kinase calmodulin binding domain.
