Abstract:
Luminescent nanodots for protein sensing and discrimination of bacteria: Luminescent nanodots are applied as novel fluorescent probes in a sensing array. The sensing strategy uses graphene oxide (GO) for protein recognition, with displacement of fluorescent probes to generate the output. This sensing platform is a powerful tool to detect protein targets and discriminate bacteria.

Labeling DNA Probes
Radioisotopes, fluorophores, or small molecule binding partners like biotin or digoxigenin, are the most widely used reporter tags for labeling DNA probes. These labels can be attached to the probe DNA molecule via...
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...
