| Abstract: | A novel cationic fluorescent zinc (Zn2+) indicator (RhodZin-3) with nanomolar affinity for Zn2+ has been synthesized. RhodZin-3 exhibits large pH-independent fluorescence increases in the orange region of the visible wavelength spectrum with increasing zinc concentrations, and no sensitivity to physiologically relevant Ca2+ concentrations. Experiments in neuronal cell cultures show that RhodZin-3 effectively localizes into mitochondria and detects changes of intramitochondrial free Zn2+ (Zn2+]m). |
