Recently the bank tagged several of their most popular monoclonals with fluorescent proteins for distribution.
The sensor is a fusion of a glutamate-binding protein and two fluorescent proteins.
They even tagged one of their constructs with a fluorescent protein and managed to make glowing silk.
Other commonly used reporters include green fluorescent protein and luciferase.
The researchers used compounds fused with green fluorescent protein, which is easy to trace.
But none of those cells glowed with the fluorescent protein, he reported.
Some bacteria were programmed to produce a green fluorescent protein at high concentrations of the chemical.
To illustrate, S will be calculated for green fluorescent protein.
Bacteria have been engineered to function as sensors by expressing a fluorescent protein under certain environmental conditions.
Some fluorescent proteins can be switched on and off by light of appropriate wavelength.
