Molecular Devices has announced an aequorin option for its FLIPR Tetra® fluorometric imaging plate reader. This addition to the FLIPR Tetra system includes designed camera that can detect both ...

With the research support from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, a Wisconsin biotech company has found that a compound from a protein found in jellyfish is neuroprotective and may be effective in ...

In 1961, Osamu Shimomura discovered a light-emitting protein in the jellyfish Aequorea aequorea. Four decades later, Shimomura, now at the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, Mass., and his ...

Gprotein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are an important class of receptor in modern drug discovery. This superfamily of receptors is highly tractable for drug discovery purposes because many of these ...

Ever since the discovery of DNA’s double-helix structure, life scientists have been interested in somehow introducing foreign nucleic acid molecules into a host cell and expressing the genes encoded ...
