Desperately seeking sensors.
The list of biologically active small molecules for which fluorescent sensors would be desirable is enormous. The list of sensors actually available is surprisingly small. The reason derives in part from a lack of communication between chemistry inventors and biology end-users. A new World Wide Web board has been created to address this need.
