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 night we ...

Fluorescent proteins (FPs) have transformed biological imaging by enabling detailed visualisation of cellular and molecular processes in real time. Initially exemplified by the green fluorescent ...

Fluorescent protein chromophores are the light‐emitting centres intrinsic to proteins such as green fluorescent protein (GFP) and its variants. These chromophores emerge through post‐translational ...

Neuroscientists have unveiled an engineered protein that lets them watch incoming signals wash over neurons in real time, turning what used to be invisible chemical whispers into vivid, trackable ...

Marine biologists discovered that a protein that boosts fluorescent output also enables an antioxidant property Jules Jacobs A sunburst anemone (Anthopleura sola) fluoresces under ultraviolet light.

Every cell depends on proteins to function and stay healthy. These proteins are made inside the cell from amino acids, but ...

In 2001, chemists K. Barry Sharpless, Hartmuth C. Kolb, and M. G. Finn introduced click chemistry, a concept in which organic ...
