Free calcium ion concentration is known to govern numerous biological processes and indeed calcium acts as an important biological secondary messenger for muscle contraction, neurotransmitter release, ion-channel gating, and exocytosis. As such, the development of molecules with the ability to instantaneously increase or diminish free calcium concentrations potentially allows greater control over certain biological functions. In order to permit remote regulation of Ca<sup>2+</sup>, a selective B ...[more]
