Changes in intracellular free calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) are involved in many important physiological responses. Detecting changes in [Ca2+]i is crucial to understanding the physiologic roles of intracellular free calcium. We have characterized changes of [Ca2+]i in human cells transfected with
## Detection of proteolytic bond cleavage was achieved by taking advantage of the bioluminescence emission generated by the photoprotein aequorin. A genetically engineered HIV-1 protease substrate was coupled with a cysteine-free mutant of aequorin by employing the polymerase chain reaction to pro
