1-[2-Amino-5-(6-carboxyindol-2-yl)phenoxyl]-2-(2''-amino-5''-methylphenoxy)ethane-N,N,N'',N''-tetraacetic acid (indo-1) and 2-[2-(bis(carboxymethyl)amino-5-methylphenoxy)methyl]-6-methyl-8-[bis-(carboxymethyl) amino]quinoline (quin-2) are sensitive, spectral indicators for Zn2+. Additions of subsaturating Zn2+ to 10-80 .mu.M indo-1 or quin-2 at pH 7.0 produce uv difference spectra with isosbestic wave lengths at 342 and 282 nm or at 342, 317, and 252 nm, respectively. Formation of 1:1 Zn2+:indicator complexes at pH 7.0 and 20.degree.C in the absence (presence) of 100 mM KC1 gives .DELTA..epsilon.max = -2.4 .+-. 0.2 .times. 104 M-1 cm-1 at 367 nm (-2.1 .+-. 0.2 .times. 104 M-1 cm-1 at 365 nm) for indo-1 and .DELTA..epsilon.max = -2.7 .+-. 0.1 .times. 104 m-1 cm-1 at 266 nm (-2.6 .+-. 0.1 .times. 104 M-1 cm-1 at 265 nm) for quin-2. Competition experiments at pH 7.0 and 20.degree.C with indo-1 and quin-2 and also 4-(2-pyridylazo)resorcinol (PAR) as the second chelator in the absence (presence) of 100 mM KCl yield apparent affinity constants: KA'' = 2.5 1.0 .times. 1010 M-1 (6.2 .+-. 0.5 .times. 109 M-1) for indo-1 binding Zn2+ and KA'' = 9.4 .+-. 3.3 .times. 1011 M-1 (2.7 .+-. 0.1 .times. 1011M-1) for quin-2 binding Zn2+. The above constants provide the basis for rapid steady-state spectrophotometric determinations of the affinity of a protein for Zn2+ with KA'' .apprx. 1010 - 1013 M-1. Addition of isolated regulatory dimers from Escherichia coli asparatate transcarbamoylase to excess indo-1 at pH 7.0 and 20.degree.C, for example, gave a rapid absorbance change (< 10 min) at .apprx. 367 nm which was used (after correction for .apprx. 20% loosely associated Zn2+) to calculate KA'' = 1 .times. 1012 M-1 (.+-. 100 mM KCl) for Zn2+ binding to this protein. At the wavelength of maximum absorbance change with indo-1, there was little interference (< 1%) by the presence of protein, free mercurial reagent, 2-mercaptoethanol, or 1 mM MgCl2. Thus, Zn2+ binding constants for unstable proteins with high affinities for Zn2+ can be measured at neutral pH by rapid equilibration with excess indo-1. With excess quin-2, the procedure must be modified to take into account the interference from protein absorbance.
