photoproteins are excellent reporter systems because they don’t have virtually background signal. aequorin is the most well-known photoprotein. three improved engineered photoproteins photina, i-photina and c-photina, were also recently developed and optimized for generation of ca2+ mobilization assays precisely. the total light emission is greater than aequorin and their reaction kinetics is a...

background: for screening sequence variations in genes, rapid turnover time is of fundamental importance. while, many of the current methods are unfortunately time consuming and technically difficult to implement. denaturing high-performance liquid chromatography (dhplc) method had been shown to be a high-throughput, time saving, and economical tool for mutation screening. objective: in the pre...
