Dark proteins disturb multichromophore coupling in tetrameric fluorescent proteins.

abstract：:In vivo imaging of cerebral vasculature is highly vital for clinicians and medical researchers alike. For a number of years non-invasive optical-based imaging of brain vascular network by using standard fluorescence probes has been considered as impossible. In the current paper controverting this paradigm, we present ...
