Abstract

Fluorescence correlation spectroscopy was used to characterise the conformational equilibrium in “Calcium Green 1’', a fluorescent indicator of calcium. In the calcium bound form, a triplet bunching time of 6.7 µs is seen. We show that, in the absence of calcium, 10% of the indicator is in a fluorescent conformation that inter-converts to a non-fluorescent form in 10 µs. This confirms the probing mechanism based on a conformation controlled PET proposed for Calcium Green 1.
