General description
A cell-permeable oxygen bridged dinuclear ruthenium amine complex that has been shown to bind to mitochondria with high affinity (Kd = 0.34 nM) and specifically blocks Ca2+ uptake into mitochondria in vitro (IC50 = 184 pM) and in situ in intact myocytes (for complete block after incubation with ~10 µM of Ru360 for 30 min. Does not affect other cellular Ca2+ transport processes involved in cardiac muscle contraction even at micromolar levels.
A cell-permeable oxygen-bridged dinuclear ruthenium amine complex that has been shown to bind to mitochondria with high affinity (Kd = 340 pM). Specifically blocks Ca2+ uptake into mitochondria in vitro (IC50 = 184 pM) and in situ in intact myocytes (complete block after incubation with ~10 µM of Ru360 for 30 min). Does not affect other cellular Ca2+ transport processes involved in cardiac muscle contraction, even at micromolar levels.
Note: 1 set = 10 x 100 µg.
