Scientists create new 'glowing' protein which may help treat cancer

Scientists have created a new 'glowing' protein which may be used in fluorescence microscopy to help in the research on cancer, infectious diseases and organ development. Besides glowing when irradiated with ultraviolet and blue light, the protein is exceedingly small and stable under high temperatures, said researchers from the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (MIPT) in Russia. Fluorescence microscopy is a method for studying living tissue that relies on induced luminescence. After being exposed to laser radiation at a particular wavelength, some proteins emit light at a different wavelength. This induced "glow" can be analysed using a special microscope. Researchers said the protein holds prospects for fluorescence microscopy, a technique used in research on cancer, infectious diseases, and organ development, among other things. In the journal Photochemical & Photobiological Sciences, researchers append such fluorescent proteins to other proteins via genetic ...
