Researchers at the Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry (MPIB) have developed the new UbiREAD technology to decode the various combinations of ubiquitin molecules – the ubiquitin code – which ...

From growth hormones to cancer drugs, small molecules play a crucial role in our health. Monitoring them is essential to ...

The discovery of DsRed (and other Anthozoa fluorescent proteins of various hues) had a twofold impact on the fluorescent protein engineering community. First, there is now a relatively diverse ...

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 ...

Proteins play a key role in the life sciences — from basic research and biotechnological applications to the development and manufacturing of pharmaceuticals. Scientists at the Technical University of ...

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 ...

Single-molecule imaging, a technique that uses fluorescent markers to track proteins with precision, plays a crucial role in cell biology, biochemistry, molecular biology, and drug discovery. However, ...

Researchers with Nanoscope Therapeutics Inc., a biotechnology company committed to restoring vision in blind patients in real ...

In a groundbreaking study on the synthesis of cellulose—a major constituent of all plant cell walls—a team of Rutgers University-New Brunswick researchers have captured images of the microscopic ...

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 ...

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 ...
