mScarlet3: a brilliant and fast-maturing red fluorescent protein - Nature Methods

Two mScarlet variants with high brightness and fast maturation times have been evolved. These variants behave favorably as fusion tags and Förster resonance energy transfer acceptors.

Biologists develop new record bright red fluorescent protein

To understand why a cell divides, secretes hormones or transmits a signal to another cell, biologists often use a trick. They attach colored lights to the proteins of interest, so that they can follow the movements and interactions of those proteins in living cells under the microscope. The more colors of these lights are available, the more processes they can follow at the same time.

Bright and photostable green fluorescent protein derived from Japanese jellyfish

Fluorescence imaging of biological samples stands to benefit greatly by a RIKEN discovery of a fluorescent protein derived from a Japanese jellyfish that maintains its brightness even when illuminated by strong light.
