Fluorescent proteins have revolutionised biological imaging by offering genetically encodable markers that emit visible light upon excitation. Central to their function is the chromophore, an ...

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 ...

Observing proteins precisely within cells is extremely important for many branches of research but has been a significant technical challenge—especially in living cells, as the required fluorescent ...
