Chemistry Is Dead. Long Live Chemistry!

Abstract:

:Chemistry, once king of fluorescence microscopy, was usurped by the field of fluorescent proteins. The increased demands of modern microscopy techniques on the "photon budget" require better and brighter fluorophores, causing a renewed interest in synthetic dyes. Here, we review the recent advances in biochemistry, protein engineering, and organic synthesis that have allowed a triumphant return of chemical fluorophores to modern biological imaging.

  • Interconverting receptor states at 4 degrees C for the neutrophil N-formyl peptide receptor.

    abstract::With the aid of high time resolution kinetic data extracted from a flow cytometer, we determined that there are two N-formyl peptide receptor states for human neutrophils at 4 degrees C: a low affinity and a high affinity state. Competitive binding of FMLP, FNLP, and t-BOC with FNLPNTL-FL revealed different kinetic ra...
