AI systems already work their magic in many areas of biomedical science, helping to solve protein structure, discover hidden ...

Fluorescent proteins have come along way since the discovery of GFP from the jellyfish Aequorea victoria in the early 1960s. Today, both natural and engineered fluorescent proteins come in a ...

For a time, however, it appeared that fluorescent protein engineering had hit a 'yellow' wall in efforts to red-shift fluorescence emission. Fortuitously, this barrier had already been surmounted ...

Ubiquitin marks proteins for degradation, whereby ubiquitin molecules can be combined in different types and numbers forming ...

Bio-conjugation techniques utilizing proteins, such as attaching fluorescent markers to identify cancer cells, are actively ...

Artificial cells using riboswitch-gene fusion in liposomes produce fluorescent proteins when detecting specific targets.

A research team has developed an innovative technique that enables precise modification of specific proteins within complex ...

1 This was the first example of a light-activated protein, which they called a photoprotein. I wanted to have a tool like this. I thought this would be wonderful. —Martin Chalfie, Columbia University ...

Genetic engineering in non-human primates has long been limited by the need for virus-based gene delivery methods. Recently, ...

Poeschla and colleagues used a modified virus to transfer the green fluorescent protein gene into cat egg cells. The green marker allowed them to visualize their real target: a monkey-derived protein ...
