Abstract:
A mutant (K27C) of the blue copper protein azurin [Eur. J. Biochem. 194 (1990) 109; J. Mol. Biol. 221 (1991) 765] for orientated immobilisation on gold surfaces was analysed by scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM) both in a resting state and following the application of a short potential pulse between the tip and sample.

Protein Dynamics in Living Cells
Fluorescent recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) is a fluorescent-protein-based detection technique used to quantify protein movement rates within the cell. This method exposes a small portion of the cell to an intense laser beam. The laser beam causes permanent photobleaching of the fluorophore-tagged proteins in the exposed region. As the bleached...
