Description:
Article Synaptotagmin-1 (syt-1) triggers fast synchronous neurotransmission mediated by fusion of synaptic vesicles with presynaptic membranes. Here Lin et al. use inter-membrane FRET combined with DNA rulers as calibration standards to quantify Ca 2+ -induced changes in membrane distances mediated by syt-1.
