Org Biomol Chem. 2010 Aug 7;8(15):3398-401. doi: 10.1039/c000158a. Epub 2010 Jun 16.

Abstract

We describe the synthesis and fluorescence properties of a Fura-2FF-based fluorescent Ca(2+) indicator that can be covalently linked to SNAP-tag fusion proteins and retains its Ca(2+) sensing ability after coupling to protein.
