Abstract:
Fluorescent indicators for calcium are incredibly powerful because they enable researchers to watch the movement of calcium ions in real time in living cells. The popular small molecule indicator Indo-1 has now been targeted to a defined location, namely, the nucleus of muscle cells, using SNAP-tag technology. This combination of a chemical probe with genetic targeting expands the available options for measuring local calcium events in cells.
