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 -- ...

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 ...

Fluorescence microscopy is one of the most powerful tools in the life-sciences toolkit. The unique spectral properties of fluorescent dyes and proteins, collectively called fluorophores, have allowed ...

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 have used that green fluorescent protein and similar molecules to light up ...

Fluorescent dyes are tools used throughout biotechnology and medicine that offer a unique method of detecting and quantifying the presence of a target molecule, cell, or tissue within an even more ...

These “on‑demand” probes, known as VIS‑Fbs, become brightly fluorescent only when they bind their intended protein targets.

A microscope photo of a cross section of a mouse nose. The mouse was genetically modified to express green fluorescent ...
