As the researchers at Münster University, the Münster branch
of the Fraunhofer Institute for Molecular Biology and Applied Ecology IME, the Technische Universität München (TUM) and TRM Ltd. (York, UK) demonstrated, using the
example of Russian dandelion, Taraxacum kok - saghyz, there is one special protein (a so - called rubber transferase
activator) which plays a key role.
An
example of these tools in our lab is the characterization and use
of halide - sensitive variants
of GFP to screen for
activators and inhibitors
of CFTR in cell - based assays.
