描述

The Newport Green™ DCF indicator has moderate zinc-binding affinity (K _d for Zn ²⁺ ~1 µM) but is essentially insensitive to Ca ²⁺ (Kd for Ca ²⁺ >100 µM), making this a valuable probe for detecting Zn ²⁺ influx into neurons through voltage- or glutamate-gated channels. When used alongside dyes with dual Ca ²⁺ / Zn ²⁺ sensitivity such as fura-2 and mag-fura-2, Newport Green™ DCF provides confirmation that changes in Zn ²⁺ levels, and not Ca ²⁺ or Mg ²⁺, are being detected. The response of Newport Green™ DCF to transition metals, including Zn, Mn, Fe, Co, Cu(I), Cu(II), Ni and Cd, has been characterized.

Newport Green™ PDX has a higher Zn ²⁺ dissociation constant (K _d for Zn ²⁺ ~30 µM) and a larger Zn ²⁺-free to Zn ²⁺-saturated fluorescence intensity increase than the Newport Green™ DCF indicators.
