✦ Synopsis
Fluorescent proteins are indispensable tools in the study of protein localisation in living cells. To study protein dynamics, however, it is necessary to selectively mark a sub-population of protein molecules. This is possible using Photoactivatable Green Fluorescent Protein (PA-GFP). In this article, the evolution and characteristics of PA-GFP are described together with the hardware and software solutions that allow researchers to easily perform PA-GFP experiments.
