Fluorescence lifetime readouts of Troponin-C-based calcium FRET sensors: a quantitative comparison of CFP and mTFP1 as donor fluorophores.

We have compared the performance of two Troponin-C-based calcium FRET sensors using fluorescence lifetime read-outs. The first sensor, TN-L15, consists of a Troponin-C fragment inserted between CFP and Citrine while the second sensor, called mTFP-TnC-Cit, was realized by replacing CFP in TN-L15 with...
