  • Unique properties, such as red-shifted emission above 600 nm or photo conversions from a greenemitting state to a red-emitting state, can be displayed by fluorescent proteins with other chromophores, such as UnaG with bilirubin. (eresearchco.com)
  • This state is typically short-lived (a few nanoseconds), and rapidly decays back to the ground state, either through the emission of a photon (fluorescence), or by non-radiative relaxation. (ibs.fr)
  • We combine structure-based protein engineering and molecular genetics to restrict the activity of the potentially toxic endonuclease to spermatogenesis. (nature.com)
  • Therefore, specific localization patterns of GEFs and GTPase-activating proteins, and a molecular network of their regulation underlie the spatiotemporal control of Rho GTPases activities in the cells. (life-science-alliance.org)
  • One of the most interesting features of the GFP chromophore is that it does not require a catalytic system to be formed, but is autocatalytically assembled after protein production, requiring only molecular oxygen as a cofactor for its full maturation. (ibs.fr)
  • Small angle neutron scattering (SANS) provides unique insight into biomacromolecular complexes by combining solvent contrast variation (H2O:D2O exchange) with either natural contrast between different classes of biomolecules (proteins, RNA/DNA, lipids/detergents) and/or by applying artificial contrast, i.e. deuteration of specific biomolecules.
