Scientists used light to evolve proteins that can switch, sense, and even “compute” inside living cells. Evolution is one of ...

UV-ready real-time PCR systems, together with alternative fluorescent dyes, facilitate sensitive and reliable thermal-shift ...

Proteins play a key role in the life sciences - from basic research and biotechnological applications to the development and manufacturing of pharmaceuticals. Scientists at the Technical University of ...

EPFL researchers have developed a light-based method that can produce proteins that switch states, respond to signals, and even compute, using light and the cell cycle.

The team has further developed the method of chromatography. For this purpose, they have developed a light-sensitive molecular appendix that serves as an anchor for the target protein. It binds the ...

Proteins containing the appropriate amino acids are absorbent to light on the UV-spectrum, specifically light that has peak wavelengths of 260 – 280 nanometers (nm). This makes it simple to analyze ...
