Green fluorescent protein (GFP) from the jellyfish Aequorea victoria and its homologs from
diverse marine animals are widely used as universal genetically encoded fluorescent labels …

Photoinduced reactions play an important role in the photocycle of fluorescent proteins from
the green fluorescent protein (GFP) family. Among such processes are photoisomerization …

Fluorescent proteins that can be reversibly photoswitched between a fluorescent and a
nonfluorescent state are important for innovative microscopy schemes, such as protein …

Dronpa is a novel GFP-like fluorescent protein with exceptional light-controlled switching
properties. It may be reversibly switched between a fluorescent on-state and a …

The majority of studies of the living cell rely on capturing images using fluorescence
microscopy. Unfortunately, for centuries, diffraction of light was limiting the spatial resolution …

In this Perspective we discuss recent trends in the development and applications of
fluorescent proteins. We start by providing a historical and structural perspective of their …

RSFPs (reversibly switchable fluorescent proteins) may be repeatedly converted between a
fluorescent and a non-fluorescent state by irradiation and have attracted widespread interest …

Optical microscopes, often referred to as 'light microscopes', use visible light and a system of
lenses to provide us with magnified images of small samples. Combined with highly …

Proteins homologous to green fluorescent protein (GFP) span most of the visible spectrum,
offering indispensable tools for live cell imaging. Structural transformations, such as …
