Fluorescent proteins for a brighter science

Biochem Biophys Res Commun. 2022 Dec 10:633:29-32. doi: 10.1016/j.bbrc.2022.08.089.

Abstract

Proteins of the Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) family, being used as genetically encoded labels, have brought fluorescence molecular imaging into the dynamic world of living cells and organisms. Flavin-, bilirubin-, and biliverdin-binding fluorescent proteins further enriched the palette of genetic markers with novel spectral and physico-chemical properties. What are the possible next steps in the development of this methodology?
