Abstract: Prof Brindle and colleagues at the University of Cambridge have developed a series of imaging agents built around a modified 14kDa C2A domain of the protein Synaptotagmin I, which incorporates a specific Ser-Cys mutation. This modified C2A domain retains its ability to bind tightly to phosphatidylserine, which is externalised on the surface of dying (apoptotic) cells.
