Once the word was out that GFP could be put into other model organisms, the protein found itself visiting labs across the country, quite literally in the case of Raphael Valdivia, who is currently a ...

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

Due to the wave nature of light, any point source of light (even from a single GFP molecule with a size of 3 nm) is observed by the microscope as a small diffracted blur. As a result, the spatial ...

Many researchers use GFP to study the localization of fusion ... The aqueous phase of a transmembrane molecule hardly affects diffusion because the viscosity of the membrane is much higher.

At first, molecular cloning techniques were slow to be adopted. The consensus among scientists studying bioluminescent and fluorescent proteins was that fluorescent proteins like GFP would not ...

A team of scientists in the lab of Nobel Prize winner David Baker has created a method for designing proteins that can bind and sense a range of small molecules, with wide applications for biomedicine ...
