Depositor Comments

Second generation genetically encoded, ratiometric, fluorescent biosensor. Zn(II)-binding domain derived from the first 2 zinc fingers of Zap 1 from Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Contains truncated CFP and Citrine fluorescent proteins.

ZapCY2 is derived from ZapCY1. The first cysteine in each zinc finger is mutated to histidine.
