BRET and FAST are glad to introduce BREAKFAST

BREAKFAST, Bioluminescence Resonance Energy mAKe over with a Fluorescence-Activating absorption-Shifting Tag, they call it.  A team of UC Irvine led by Prof. J. Prescher has combined BRET and FAST together into a new customizable platform for in vivo imaging at...

FAST in anaerobic thermophiles for the first time ever

FAST in anaerobic thermophiles for the first time ever!  TU Wien’s Rémi Hocq et al. have just reported FAST in Thermoanaerobacter kivui in Front. Bioeng. Biotechnol. 2023. Why anaerobic thermophiles? Anaerobic thermophilic bacteria are top-of-the-list candidates...

greenFAST and redFAST in anaerobes

greenFAST and redFAST open the door for multicolor approaches to investigate cell dynamics, gene expression, or protein localization in anaerobes.  This is the conclusion of Maximilian Flaiz et al. in this ACS Synth. Biol. 2022 paper.  Indeed, researchers of Prof. Dr....
