Bioluminescent and fluorescent proteins are now used as tools for research in all organisms. There has been massive progress over the past 15 years in creating a palette of fluorescent proteins with a wide spectrum of specific properties. One of the big challenges is to decide which variant may be best for a certain application. A recent article by Mann et al. in BMC Biotechnology describes a new orange fluorescent protein in plants.
生物发光和荧光蛋白现在被用作所有生物体研究的工具。在过去的 15 年中，人们在创建具有广泛特定属性的荧光蛋白调色板方面取得了巨大进展。其中一个大挑战是决定哪种变体最适合特定应用。Mann 等人最近在 BMC 生物技术杂志上的一篇文章描述了一种新的植物橙色荧光蛋白。
