Is radioactive detection of biomolecules destined to the same fate as the Berlin Wall? The multitude of nonisotopic detection methods now available suggests that the 21st century may come to be billed as the "nonisotopic research century." The broadest common denominator of this up and coming cast of

Fluorescence technology tries at times to be all things to all people, and the researcher usually must make a complex choice about protein detection. To help with the first--and difficult--step of selecting an available assay or deciding to design one, the general avenues of fluorescence-based protein detection technologies will be explored. At the...
