Verified locators: Zinc silicate fluorescence, Figure 3; Proteoliposome transport assays, Figures 4–5; Discussion, near-neutral orthosilicic acid and sodium-dependent transport. The zinc signal is an indirect transport assay calibrated with silicic acid, not intrinsic fluorescence of free silicic acid.
