Genetically encoded calcium indicator with NTnC-like design and enhanced fluorescence contrast and kinetics

Abstract Background The recently developed genetically encoded calcium indicator (GECI), called NTnC, has a novel design with reduced size due to utilization of the troponin C (TnC) as a Ca2+-binding moiety inserted into the mNeonGreen fluorescent protein. NTnC binds two times less Ca2+ ions while m...
