For decades, researchers have used that green fluorescent protein and similar molecules to light up the field of biology, tracking what’s happening inside cells. Now these ubiquitous tools are ...

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

Fluorescent proteins have revolutionised biological imaging by offering genetically encodable markers that emit visible light upon excitation. Central to their function is the chromophore, an ...

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 ...

Imaging live cells with fluorescent proteins has long been a crucial technique for understanding cellular behavior. While bioluminescent proteins offer several advantages over fluorescent proteins, ...

Researchers at Umea University have developed a new method to directly follow viral infections in living organisms. This method can make infected cells produce fluorescent proteins, which means that ...

It infects nearly one-third of the global population, yet its microscopic size makes the parasite difficult for scientists to study. That parasite is Toxoplasma gondii, a widespread organism that ...

Biotech researchers First author Gabriel Abrahams and senior author Harrison Steel are part of a team at the University of Oxford developing magneto-sensitive fluorescent proteins. (Courtesy: Olivia ...

developed an efficient haploid identification (HID) system for wheat by seamlessly integrating a two-fluorescent protein-based HID toolbox with a MATRILINEAL (MTL) mutant haploid induction (HI) wheat ...

Researchers have developed a groundbreaking method to expand the palette of bioluminescent protein colors for cell labeling. By creating 20 distinct colors, they have enabled the simultaneous ...

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 ...
