Abstract:
The targeted protein of interest is fused with genetically modified β-lactamase enzyme, which reacts with the probe in physiological conditions to break the aggregated interaction between the fluorophore and quencher. This alliance-separation technique is new for protein labeling and is probed in vitro and in live cell imaging studies.
