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 ...

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 ...

An artificial intelligence (AI) model that speaks the language of proteins — one of the largest yet developed for biology — has been used to create new fluorescent molecules. The proof-of-principle ...

For decades, synthetic biologists have been developing gene circuits that can be transferred into cells for applications such ...

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 ...

Research shows CRATERs correlate with immunotherapy success, boosting CD8+ T cells in melanoma. Find out how this discovery ...

Fluorescent proteins can be turned into qubits within cells and could give us a deeper understanding of biology at the nanoscale level. Protein-based quantum bits (qubits) could be the key to ...

Quantum technologies might seem incompatible with life. The quantum bits, or qubits, that make them up commonly require ultracold temperatures, and rely on hard, orderly materials like diamond or ...

A research team led by Prof. Xu Pingyong from the Institute of Biophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has developed an ...
