Bimolecular Fluorescence Complementation - Fluorescent Labeling

Fluorescent Labeling

Fluorophore activation occurs through an autocatalytic cyclization reaction that occurs after the protein has been folded correctly. This was advanced with the successful reconstitution of the YFP fluorophore from protein fragments that had been fused to interacting proteins within 8 hours of transfection was reported in 2002.

Famous quotes containing the word labeling:

    Although adults have a role to play in teaching social skills to children, it is often best that they play it unobtrusively. In particular, adults must guard against embarrassing unskilled children by correcting them too publicly and against labeling children as shy in ways that may lead the children to see themselves in just that way.
    Zick Rubin (20th century)
