It has been over 60 years since Osamu Shimomura et al. discovered Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP)1. Since then, the color ...

A bright and photostable far-red fluorescent protein, smURFP, was developed from a cyanobacterial phycobiliprotein. smURFP uniquely binds a highly cell-permeable biliverdin derivative to obtain ...

Green fluorescent protein (GFP) and GFP-like proteins represent invaluable genetically encoded fluorescent probes1,2. In the last few years a new class of photoactivatable fluorescent proteins ...

我们可以这样理解：细胞死亡程序的启动，相当于给细胞膜装上了由NINJ1构成的“预制薄弱点”。但这并不意味着细胞会立即“爆炸”。它进入了一种“待破裂”的脆弱状态。最终是否会发生灾难性的、完全的破裂，还取决于它所处的物理微环境。

Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Genetics have developed a novel synthetic micropeptide termed the ...

The green fluorescent protein (GFP) is protein composed of 238 amino acids (26.9kDa), which exhibits bright green fluorescence when exposed to blue light.Although many other marine organisms have ...

When you look up at the blue sky, where are the stars that you see at night? They’re there but we can’t see them. A firefly flitting across a field is invisible to us during the day, but at ...

It overcame a common problem with green fluorescent proteins, namely they become dimmer under the powerful or long illumination used in fluorescence imaging of live cells. Cellular proteins labelled ...

A green fluorescent protein makes fruit fly sperm glow green. (Image credit: Catherine Fernandez and Jerry Coyne.) GFP remains special, however, because it spontaneously folds into the right shape ...

The image shows a small fluorescent protein that emits and absorbs light that penetrates deep into biological tissue. Here, it indicates inflammation in a living mouse liver.

Switchable fluorescent proteins, able to move reversibly between two optical states, have been known from some years. But now, German researchers have discovered the mechanism behind this optical ...
