Abstract excerpt
We report fluorescence lifetime and rotational anisotropy measurements of the fluorescent dye Alexa647 attached to the guanylate cyclase-activating protein 2 (GCAP2), an intracellular myristoylated calcium sensor protein operating in photoreceptor cells. By linking the dye to different protein regions critical for monitoring calcium-induced conformational changes, we could measure fluorescence lifetimes and...
