The fluorescent toolbox for assessing protein location and function

BNG Giepmans, SR Adams, MH Ellisman, RY Tsien - science, 2006 - science.org
Advances in molecular biology, organic chemistry, and materials science have recently created
several new classes of fluorescent probes for imaging in cell biology. Here we review the …

Specific covalent labeling of recombinant protein molecules inside live cells

BA Griffin, SR Adams, RY Tsien - Science, 1998 - science.org
Recombinant proteins containing four cysteines at the i,i + 1, i + 4, and i + 5 positions of an α
helix were fluorescently labeled in living cells by extracellular administration of 4′,5′-bis(1…

Understanding, improving and using green fluorescent proteins

AB Cubitt, R Heim, SR Adams, AE Boyd… - Trends in biochemical …, 1995 - cell.com
Green fluorescent proteins (GFPs) are presently attracting tremendous interest as the first
general method to create strong visible fluorescence by purely molecular biological means. So …

New biarsenical ligands and tetracysteine motifs for protein labeling in vitro and in vivo: synthesis and biological applications
