Abstract
The compounds of the present invention are synthetic peptides useful in developing antisera against vertebrate or plant calmodulins. The peptides have chain lengths of from 8 to 15 amino acids arranged in linear N-terminal to C-terminal sequences which include either the amino acid segment asparagine-tyrosine-glutamic acid-glutamic acid-phenylalanine-valine-glutamine, corresponding to a minimal immunoreactive site of vertebrate calmodulin, or the segment asparagine-tyrosine-glutamic acid-glutamic acid-phenylalanine-valine-lysine, corresponding to the analogous amino acid regin of plant calmodulin.
