  "summary": "Fluorescent calcium indicators are typically optimized for fast kinetics, but for some bio-engineering projects in synthetic biology slower indicators with long decay time constants may be more practical and easier to apply. We here present a green fluorescent protein calcium biosensor with unusually slow response kinetics. By molecular engineering we were able to extend a slow component of the…",
