Sci. STKE, 9 November 2004 PROTOCOLSSpectral Analysis of Calcium OscillationsDepartments of Pharmacology, Cell and Molecular Physiology, Yale University School of Medicine, New Haven, CT, USA or Department of Woman and Child Health, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden Abstract: Calcium (Ca2+) oscillations are universal signals exploited by cells to regulate a vast number of cellular processes. Frequency and amplitude, the key features of oscillating waves, can yield information that can be decoded by intracellular processes. Analysis and quantification of Ca2+ oscillations are crucial for understanding the general concept of Ca2+ signaling. This protocol presents a method for performing spectral analysis of Ca2+ oscillations using MATLAB software. *Contact information.
