Phycobiliproteins (PBPs) are fluorescent proteins of various colors, including fuchsia, purple-
blue and cyan, that allow the capture of light energy in auxiliary photosynthetic complexes …

Phycobiliproteins (PBPs) are the main component of light-harvesting complexes in
cyanobacteria and red algae. In addition to their important role in photosynthesis, PBPs …

Phytochrome B (phyB) is a plant photoreceptor that forms a membraneless organelle called
a photobody. However, its constituents are not fully known. Here, we isolated phyB …

We report an intensiometric, near-infrared fluorescent, genetically encoded calcium ion
(Ca2+) indicator (GECI) with excitation and emission maxima at 678 and 704 nm …

The light-based control of ion channels has been transformative for the neurosciences, but
the optogenetic toolkit does not stop there. An expanding number of proteins and cellular …

Imaging biological processes in mammalian tissues will be facilitated by fluorescent probes
with excitation and emission bands within the near-infrared optical window of high …

Genetically encodable optical reporters, such as green fluorescent protein, have
revolutionized the observation and measurement of cellular states. However, the inverse …

Fluorescent probes are one of the cornerstones of real-time imaging of live cells and a
powerful tool for cell biologists. They provide high sensitivity and great versatility while …

Regulatable transgene systems providing easily controlled, conditional induction or
repression of expression are indispensable tools in biomedical and agricultural research …

Optogenetic tools use colored light to rapidly control gene expression in space and time. We
designed a genetically encoded system that gives Escherichia coli the ability to distinguish …
