“Therefore,” says Shu, “they are potential candidates for engineering blue- or red-shifted infrared fluorescent proteins, which then may be used for multicolor imaging and as FRET donors or ...

Far-red fluorescent proteins are particularly promising in ... some investigators have turned their attention back to the blue region of the visible spectrum and developed several new hues that ...

I thought this would be wonderful. —Martin Chalfie, Columbia University Today, we call them fluorescent proteins. Alongside aequorin, Shimomura and Johnson also purified a small amount of another ...

The research team specifically asked their model to generate a new green fluorescent protein—other such proteins, which fluoresce under ultraviolet light, are often used as markers. The team ...
