Abstract

We developed highly selective fluorescent Mg2+ probes based on a novel tridentate Mg2+-selective chelator. The superior selectivity for Mg2+ over Ca2+ enabled the detection of intracellular Mg2+ concentration changes without any response to Ca2+ influx. The new probes are potential keys to elucidating intracellular Mg2+ dynamics under conditions of extremely sharp Ca2+ fluctuation. andcopy; 2017 The Royal Society of Chemistry.
