The structure of calcium-bound calmodulin had previously been discovered using x-ray crystallography <ref name="3CRT"/>. It was then theorized that knowledge of the structure of calcium-free calmodulin would give greater insight into the function of the protein.

It was then theorized that knowledge of the structure of calcium-free calmodulin would give greater insight into the function of the protein. Attempts were made to crystallize the calcium-free (or apo) form, but to no avail, thus it was
