چکیده

Lily and Yuh Nung Jan's collaboration started with the identification of Shaker as the first known potassium channel gene and has flourished to produce over 100 former students and postdocs who are now leading their own research groups. In an interview with Neuron, they reflect on their scientific discoveries, serendipity in science, and the value of curiosity-driven basic research.

Probing protein electrostatics with a synthetic fluorescent amino acid.

Electrostatics affect virtually all aspects of protein structure and activity and are particularly important in proteins whose primary function is to stabilize charge. Here we introduce a fluorescent amino acid, Aladan, which can probe the electrostatic character of a protein at multiple sites. Aladan is exceptionally sensitive to the polarity of its surroundings and can be incorporated site-se...
