Illuminating Zinc in Biological Systems

Lim, Nathaniel C., Freake, Hedley C., Brückner, Christian·2005·Chemistry – A European Journal

Abstract

Zinc is the second most abundant transition metal in the human body, fulfilling a multitude of biological roles, but the mechanisms underlying its physiology are poorly understood. The lack of knowledge is, in part, due to the hitherto limited techniques available to track zinc in biological systems. The recent emergence of a number of zinc‐specific molecular sensors has provided a new tool to image zinc in live cells and tissue samples. This contribution highlights the concepts behind using zinc‐specific fluorescent molecular sensors to gain information about zinc action in biological samples, and provides representative examples of images recorded.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
