- Based on the expression level / pattern of the protein of interest, decide what antigen to detect with which
fluorophore in multi-color experiments.
A LSFM uses two independent, azimuthally arranged optical paths to excite
the fluorophores in a specimen and to detect the fluorescence emission.
In order to specifically label molecules with
fluorophores in intact cells, we prepare highly stable unnatural amino acids that rapidly and irreversibly undergo cycloaddition reactions (click chemistry) with unsurpassed speed and study their application in collaboration with the Lemke group.

In their latest work, Still's team strung these molecules, called chemosensors, with a molecule called a
fluorophore that glows when the sensor alters its shape after binding to a peptide.
Recombinant proteins containing tetracysteine tags can be successively labeled
in living cells with different colors of biarsenical
fluorophores so that older and younger protein molecules can be sharply distinguished by both fluorescence and electron microscopy.
Instead, they create a library of several hundred
fluorophores with varying chemical additions and three - dimensional conformations and then test each
in mice to see which are taken up by specific tissues
in the body.
«We basically deconstruct the targeting molecule into little pieces and scatter them around the
fluorophore so that
in three dimensions it's a very compact molecule,» says Frangioni, who coined the novel arrangement «structure - inherent targeting.»

in vivo by photoaffinity labeling and then derivatized
in vitro with biotin or a

The increase
in signal is not due to a brighter FP, but rather because of the correct folding and
fluorophore formation by most, if not all, of the FP fusions.
Ligand - mediated receptor assembly was measured by photon transfer from the photon donor to the
fluorophore resulting
in fluorescence emission.

fluorophore - conjugated secondary antibody diluted
in antibody dilution buffer to the coverslips and incubate for 1 hour

The result is illumination from the microlens disk through the pinhole disk for strong excitation of
fluorophores, causing a fluorescence emission which
in turn passes through the pinhole disk with high confocality.
PA - FPs, especially the monomeric, reversible type, are very well suited for super resolution imaging, where the power of the technique relies heavily on the same
fluorophore being imaged multiple times
in order to reconstruct an image.
First, the imaging of Brainbow mouse tissue was challenging due to low fluorescence intensity, caused partially by
fluorophore photoinstability, as well as the tendency of
fluorophores to aggregate
in the neurons» somata.
Single cell suspensions were washed
in PBS and then stained for 20 — 30 min on ice
in the dark with
fluorophore - labeled Abs (for a complete list see Tables 1 and 2) and fixable viability dye (eBioscience).
In addition, we will improve our possibilities to fluorescently label molecules in intact cells by using faster and more complete bioorthogonal reactions and new fluorophore

in intact cells by using faster and more complete bioorthogonal reactions and new
fluorophores.
In addition to this, the use of multiple
fluorophores can add a second layer of contrast, color contrast, to an image and thereby provide molecular or structural specificity to the viewer.
By coupling
fluorophores to proteins, pioneers of this technique were able to directly detect protein / protein interactions
in living cells.

in the real world and corrective approaches and appropriate controls are required to make this method useful for dynamic experiments
in which FRET changes are large.

In their JCB 2003 paper, Sekar and Periasamy defined FRET as «a distance - dependent physical process by which energy is transferred non-radiatively from an excited molecular
fluorophore (the donor) to another
fluorophore (the acceptor) by means of intermolecular long - range dipole - dipole coupling.»
