Magnesium ions are essential in mediating processes such as enzymatic reaction, muscular contraction, hormonal secretion, and DNA synthesis. The divalent magnesium cation, although in the same group as calcium, is a smaller atom. It is therefore not surprising that truncated versions of calcium indicators work well for magnesium.
