Chain-like CaMkII cluster

Caption

High-speed AFM image of CaMKIIα holoenzymes in the basal state, assembled into a chain-like cluster (dotted outline). The magnified view (top right) and schematic (bottom right; purple and brown spheres denote the kinase domains of two adjacent holoenzymes) show that neighboring holoenzymes are linked through their kinase domains.
