Abstract excerpt
The blue copper protein azurin from Pseudomonas aeruginosa has been covalently labelled with the fluorescing dye Cy5. The optical spectrum of the azurin changes markedly with its redox state. These changes are reflected in the fluorescence intensity of the dye through fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET). This provides a sensitive way to monitor biological redox events. The method shown to work in the...
