Single-residue bioorthogonal labeling of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) in live cells for quantitative analysis
To perform quantitative studies of membrane bound G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) with high-performance microscopy, the proteins must first be labeled with bright and photostable dyes. The…Read article
THUNDER Technology Note
So far, widefield microscopy was not suitable to image larger volumes, since the contrast of the recorded fluorescence image is reduced by the background (BG) mainly originating from out of focus…Read article
