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 ...

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 ...

A fluorescent protein makes it possible to follow disease progression in brain diseases such as Alzheimer's, strokes, and depression. That may lead to better insight into diseases and possible new ...

Biomedical and genetic engineers at Duke University and the Albert Einstein College of Medicine have designed a small fluorescent protein that emits and absorbs light that penetrates deep into ...

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 ...

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 ...

Biotium, a leading provider of innovative fluorescent reagents and kits for life science research, announces the release of a new line of bright fluorescent ligands designed for flexible labeling of ...

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 ...
