The cell-impermeant visible light-excitable Ca2+ indicator, Calcium Green™-5N, exhibits an increase in fluorescence emission intensity upon binding Ca2+ with little shift in wavelength. Calcium Green™-5N is essentially nonfluorescent in the absence of Ca2+ and the low-affinity indicator has dissociation constant for Ca2+ in the absence of Mg2+ of ∼14 μM.

Abstract
Synaptic mitochondria are more susceptible to Ca2+overload than nonsynaptic mitochondria.
Authors:Brown MR, Sullivan PG, Geddes JW
Journal:J Biol Chem
PubMed ID:16517608
'Mitochondria in nerve terminals are subjected to extensive Ca2+ fluxes and high energy demands, but the extent to which the synaptic mitochondria buffer Ca2+ is unclear. In this study, we identified a difference in the Ca2+ clearance ability of nonsynaptic versus synaptic mitochondrial populations enriched from rat cerebral cortex. Mitochondria ... More
Presynaptic Ca(2+) influx at the inhibitor of the crayfish neuromuscular junction: a photometric study at a high time resolution.
Authors:Vyshedskiy A, Lin JW
Journal:J Neurophysiol
PubMed ID:10634895
'Presynaptic calcium influx at the inhibitor of the crayfish neuromuscular junction was investigated by measuring fluorescence transients generated by calcium-sensitive dyes. This approach allowed us to correlate presynaptic calcium influx with transmitter release at a high time resolution. Systematic testing of the calcium indicators showed that only low-affinity dyes, with ... More
Monitoring calcium in turtle hair cells with a calcium-activated potassium channel.
Authors:Tucker TR, Fettiplace R
Journal:J Physiol
PubMed ID:8865061
'1. An apamin-sensitive Ca(2+)-activated K+ channel was characterized in turtle hair cells and utilized to monitor submembranous intracellular Ca2+ and to evaluate the concentration of the mobile endogenous calcium buffer. 2. Isolated hair cells were voltage clamped with whole-cell patch electrodes filled with a Cs(+)-based intracellular solution to block the ... More
Role of cytosolic Ca2+ in inhibition of InsP3-evoked Ca2+ release in Xenopus oocytes.
Authors:Ilyin V, Parker I
Journal:J Physiol
PubMed ID:7932238
'1. Calcium liberation induced in Xenopus oocytes by flash photorelease of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3) from a caged precursor was monitored by confocal microfluorimetry. The object was to determine whether inhibition of Ca2+ release seen with paired flashes arose as a direct consequence of elevated cytosolic free [Ca2+]. 2. Responses evoked ... More
Shift in the localization of sites of hydrogen peroxide production in brain mitochondria by mitochondrial stress.
Authors:Gyulkhandanyan AV, Pennefather PS
Journal:J Neurochem
PubMed ID:15228597
'We have determined the underlying sites of H(2)O(2) generation by isolated rat brain mitochondria and how these can shift depending on the presence of respiratory substrates, electron transport chain modulators and exposure to stressors. H(2)O(2) production was determined using the fluorogenic Amplex red and peroxidase system. H(2)O(2) production was higher ... More
