A team of US researchers has gained new insights into how large protein molecules consistently fold themselves into useful shapes. Using a new approach to fluorescence microscopy, Hoi Sung Chung and ...

Fluorescent protein chromophores are the light‐emitting centres intrinsic to proteins such as green fluorescent protein (GFP) and its variants. These chromophores emerge through post‐translational ...

Discovery of green fluorescent protein / Osamu Shimomura -- Photons for reporting molecular events: green fluorescent protein and four luciferase systems / J. Woodland Hastings and James G. Morin -- ...

Modern bioassays tend to fall under three common modalities: colorimetric, luminometric or fluorometric. Colorimetric assays record the amount of light absorbed by a reporter compound. This absorbance ...

Crystal jellyfish have an eerie beauty: thanks to a natural protein, they emit a faint green glow. For decades, researchers ...

The glow emitted by a variety of sea coral helped Russian scientists harness the protein that generates the light to create a tiny fluorescent tag that responds to visible light. The two-color tag ...

Explore advances in protein imaging techniques and spatial proteomics. Learn how modern imaging tools reveal protein dynamics and organization in cells.

It has been over 60 years since Osamu Shimomura et al. discovered Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) 1. Since then, the color palette for fluorescent proteins has been extended to span blue through to ...

Marc Zimmer received funding from NIH to research fluorescent proteins. Fruit flies, mice, zebra fish, yeast and the tiny worm C. elegans are model organisms that have carried modern biology on their ...

Scientists from the Karolinska Institute in Sweden and the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences report that spider silk proteins can be fused to biologically active proteins and be converted ...

Fruit flies, mice, zebrafish, yeast and the tiny worm C. elegans are model organisms that have carried modern biology on ...
