Potassium ions (K+) play a critical role as an essential electrolyte in all biological systems. Here we report the crystal structure-guided optimization and directed evolution of an improved genetically encoded fluorescent K+ biosensor, GINKO2. GINKO2 is highly sensitive and specific for K+ and enables in vivo detection of K+ dynamics in multiple species.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
