Zinc (Zn2+) is an essential micronutrient that is required for a wide variety of cellular processes. Tools and methods have been instrumental in revealing the myriad roles of Zn2+ in cells. This review highlights recent developments fluorescent sensors to measure the labile Zn2+ pool, chelators to manipulate Zn2+ availability, and fluorescent tools and proteomics approaches for monitoring Zn2+-binding proteins in cells. Finally, we close with some highlights on the role of Zn2+ in regulating cell function and in cell signaling. • Recent developments in fluorescent sensors to measure labile Zn2+ in live cells • Tools for manipulating Zn2+ • Proteomics approaches for monitoring Zn2+ biochemistry in cells [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
