Resumen

Los investigadores desarrollaron un nuevo sistema de etiquetado de péptidos (etiqueta D4) y sonda molecular (Zn(II) -DpaTyrs) para el etiquetado selectivo de proteínas. Este sistema permite imágenes de fluorescencia en tiempo real de las proteínas dentro de las células intactas, avanzando las herramientas de análisis de proteínas.

Labeling DNA Probes

DNA probes are fragments of DNA labeled with a reporter tag to enable their detection or purification. The resulting labeled DNA probes can then hybridize to target nucleic acid sequences through complementary base-pairing, and may be used to recover or identify these regions.
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...

Tagging and Fusion Proteins

Proteins are involved in several cellular processes and biochemical reactions. Analyzing a specific protein of interest requires it to be isolated from the other proteins in the cell. This is achieved by overexpressing the specific gene in a suitable host to produce large quantities of the target protein. A tag or label is recombined with the gene to produce a fusion protein containing the target protein and the tag. The tags on these fusion proteins can then be used for easy detection and...
