Abstract excerpt
Near-infrared fluorescent proteins (niRFPs) are valuable markers for tracking cellular phenomena as they offer greater imaging depth, lower background, and minimal invasiveness relative to other fluorescent probes. The small ultrared fluorescent protein (smURFP) is the brightest niRFP currently reported and has been the subject of several mutagenesis studies to improve its biophysical characteristics. Here, we...
