Fluorescent Protein Biosensors Quick Guide! 🧵 FP Biosensors are genetically encoded tools that measure analytes (X) which either directly or indirectly affect their spectral properties. Analytes can affect the fluorophore intrinsically or through extrinsic sensing domains

Happy birthday to the legendary Barbara McClintock! 🌽 Corn was a crucial key to her Nobel Prize-winning legacy. Today, these special crops continue to play a part in CSHL plant biology research. cshl.edu/harborscope/ba…
