Abstract excerpt
GCaMP is one of the most widely used calcium indicators in neuronal imaging and calcium cell biology. The newly developed GCaMP6 shows superior brightness and ultrasensitivity to calcium concentration change. In this study, we determined crystal structures of Ca(2+)-bound GCaMP6 monomer and dimer and presented detailed structural analyses in comparison with its parent version GCaMP5G. Our analyses reveal the...
