| Popis: |
New fluorescent indicators with nanomolar to micromolar affinities for Zn(2+) have been synthesized in wavelengths from UV to the far red. The UV light-excited indicators are ratiometric. The visible wavelength indicators are non-ratiometric and exhibit large and pH-independent fluorescence increases with increasing zinc concentrations, with little to no sensitivity to physiologically relevant Ca(2+) concentrations. Experiments in neuronal and non-neuronal cell cultures show the new indicators to retain their sensitivity to and selectivity for zinc after conversion to cell-permeable forms. |
