green fluorescent protein, cell & molecular biology

Four independent research groups develop techniques for visualizing peptide production in living cells.

Newly developed techniques from four different groups rely on the same basic steps to track translation in live cells.

How to track RNA in living cells

Now RNA can glow in the cell, as only proteins could in the past.

Researchers design patterns of fluorescent protein expression to deliver secret messages.

The researchers who aided in the development of the ubiquitous green florescent protein as a tool for cell and molecular biology have taken home this year's chemistry prize.
