    Annotation Small-molecule chemical calcium (Ca2+) indicators are invaluable tools for studying intracellular signaling pathways but have severe shortcomings for detecting local Ca2+ entry. Nanobiosensors incorporating functionalized quantum dots (QDs) have emerged as promising alternatives but their intracellular use remains a major challenge. We designed cell-penetrating FRET-based Ca2+ nanobiosensors for the detection of local Ca2+ concentration transients, using commercially available CANdot565QD as a donor and CaRuby, a custom red-emitting Ca2+ indicator, as an acceptor. With Ca2+-binding affinities covering the range of 3?20 μM, our CaRubies allow building sensors with a scalable affinity for detecting intracellular Ca2+ transients at various concentrations. To facilitate their cytoplasmic delivery, QDs were further functionalized with a small cell-penetrating peptide (CPP) derived from hadrucalcin (HadUF1?11: H11), a ryanodine receptor-directed scorpion toxin identified within the venom of
