Percent Composition: C 59.17%, H 4.81%, N 6.47%, O 29.56%
Literature References: Fluorescent calcium imaging agent; structurally related to BAPTA, q.v. Ca2+ binding causes a spectral shift to shorter wavelengths; ratio of the fluorescence at each wavelength is related to changes in Ca2+ binding and independent of dye concentration.
