Abstract
Recent developments of biophysical and electrophysiological techniques
have enabled researchers to monitor levels of free intracellular
cGMP in real-time and in intact living cells. These techniques are
based on the use of cGMP sensors, which respond to cGMP with changes
in transmembrane ion current or changes in fluorescence. Here, we
describe the principles of these techniques, compare them in terms
of sensitivity and discuss possible application for current cell
biology and physiology.
