Sapna Deo published: "Photoproteins in Bioanalysis"

INDIANAPOLIS - 02.09.2005

This book summarizes work performed with photoproteins, which includes bioluminescent and fluorescent proteins. It includes practical examples of assays based on photoproteins and their applications in advanced bioanalytical techniques. The book presents contemporary research topics like luminescent marine organisms, DNA probes, reporter gene assays and photoproteins, ratiometric sensing, use of photoproteins for in vivo functional imaging and luminescent proteins in binding assays. The use of light-emitting proteins for the detection of biomolecules provides fast and sensitive methods of detection. The luminescent proteins have become an invaluable tool in biochemical studies.
