Abstract:
Insights into the origin of the fluorescence responsive to protonation-deprotonation stimuli were provided through the study on the crystals of a new stimuli-responsive molecule BP3VA. And the transformation between microcrystals demonstrated the varying emissions of the BP3VA powder.

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...
