PA-GFP is the result of a single residue substitution, Thr203His, in avGFP, which produces the mostly neutral chromophore form 8. This form is characterized by 400-nm excitation and 515-nm emission ...

Recently, several mammals have been reported to "glow" under ultraviolet (UV) light, including our beloved platypus. But no one knew how common it was among mammals until now. We also examined the ...

Hydrogels—soft, water-rich polymer networks—have evolved far beyond their early biomedical uses. By integrating dynamic ...

Rice's Han Xiao, Stanford's Zhen Cheng and collaborators have developed a new tool for noninvasive brain imaging that can help illuminate hard-to-access structures and processes. Their small-molecule ...

A fluorescent light headache is a type of headache triggered by fluorescent lights. This may also be a symptom of photophobia, a condition that describes sensitivity to light. Fluorescent lights are ...

Advances in fluorescence microscopy and the engi-neering of the green fluorescent protein (GFP) from Aequorea victoria into mutants with improved properties and altered colours have provided the basic ...

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 ...

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 ...
