...detects. This change then generates a reporter signal. Reporter signals may be electrochemical or light-based...light-based, with luminescent and fluorescent reporters being especially popular. We’ll give you an introduction...biosensors as an example. Many calcium biosensors include GFP fused to calmodulin (CaM) and the chicken myosin ...calcium-dependent increases in fluorescence of up to 11,000-fold.
FRET biosensors are another common class of biosensors...glutamate sensor pCMV(MinDis).iGluSnFR.
