Fluorescent proteins (FPs) have become indispensable tools in biological research for labeling cells and proteins and sensing their biochemical activity. By introducing 'folding mutations', Campbell et al. engineered a new GFP variant with dramatically enhanced cellular brightness and stability, facilitating advanced cellular bioimaging applications in neuroscience and beyond.
Keywords: brain imaging; fluorescent proteins; protein engineering; super-resolution microscopy.
