Abstract

We describe new methods for the study of zinc in biological specimens. Intracellular free zinc was determined at levels down to picomolar using an excitation ratiometric fluorescence-based biosensing approach using a carbonic anhydrase variant as transducer. A new fiber optic sensor suitable for in vivo use is also described using laser excitation and an emission ratiometric approach; the zinc concentration range of sensor response can be selected to fit the application.
