The paper investigates whether calmodulin binds to lipids in the cytosolic leaflet of plasma membranes and finds that CaM interacts with PS and PE, with calcium inducing conformational changes and affecting membrane charge and stability.

The paper introduces FRET-GP, a method using FRET and Laurdan to measure lipid fluidity around transmembrane domains, showing that WALP peptides significantly alter local lipid dynamics.
