Turning up the Green Light

Fluorescent proteins (FPs) have become indispensable tools in biological research for labeling cells and proteins and sensing their biochemical activity. By introducing 'folding mutations', Campbell et al. engineered a new GFP variant with dramatically enhanced cellular brightness and stability, facilitating advanced cellular bioimaging applications in neuroscience and beyond.
