Mammalian Expression of Infrared Fluorescent Proteins Engineered from a Bacterial Phytochrome

Visibly fluorescent proteins (FPs) from jellyfish and corals have revolutionized many areas of molecular and cell biology, but the use of FPs in intact animals, such as mice, has been handicapped by poor penetration of excitation light. We now show that a bacteriophytochrome from Deinococcus radiodu... View More
