Abstract
We investigated the photophysical property of Yellow Cameleon 3.60 (YC3.60), a fluorescent calcium-ion (Ca2+) indicator based on Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET), under cryogenic conditions. By measuring the fluorescence intensity ratio of the donor and accepter at various Ca2+ concentrations under room and cryogenic temperatures, we confirmed that YC3.60 exhibits a Ca2+-dependent FRET efficiency. Although slight differences were observed in the fluorescence lifetime and spectral shape at the cryogenic temperature, which can affect the FRET efficiency, our measurement suggested that YC3.60 can be employed for quantitative Ca2+ measurement and imaging under cryogenic conditions with improved photostability and quantum yield.
