title: Fluorescent hydrogels for studying Ca(2+)-dependent reaction-diffusion processes.
abstract: Here, we report a convenient experimental platform to study the diffusion of Ca(2+) in the presence of a Ca(2+)-binding protein (Calbindin D28k). This work opens up new possibilities to elucidate the physical chemistry of complex Ca(2+)-dependent reaction-diffusion networks that are abundant in living cells.
