In our last contribution at ACS Sensors, we report an amazing methodology (DYNEX) to determine specific intracellular microenvironments taking advantage of excimer kinetics of acridones. Check it out! … Leer más acerca de Cover in ACS Sensors
Our group has identified and improved by rational mutagenesis the first chloride-sensitive red fluorescent protein (RFP). This protein presents a cis–trans isomerization of the chromophore that produces a dual emission band (green and red) with different chloride sensitivities, which allowed us … Leer más acerca de Characterization of the first chloride-sensitive RFP!
Our recent collaboration with Prof. Alvarez de Cienfuegos, studying the formation of supramolecular peptide hydrogels has been published in Materials Chemistry Frontiers. Using advanced, multiparametric fluorescence microscopy and single-molecule fluorescence spectroscopy, we have studied the … Leer más acerca de see hydrogel fibrils grow!
