Abstract

Abstract The low photostability of fluorescent proteins is a limiting factor in many applications of fluorescence microscopy. Here we present StayGold, a green fluorescent protein (GFP) derived from the jellyfish Cytaeis uchidae . StayGold is over one order of magnitude more photostable than any cur...
