  1. GFP: Can we do better? GFP has been around for a long time, many variants available but… Large protein (238 amino acids): can interfere with protein-protein interactions Slow folding rate: most variants only gain fluorescence after 1hr

  2. Possible future tags? hAGT-O6-benzylguanine-fluorophore (hAGT) 207 amino acid tag Uses methyl-transferase property of hAGT, a DNA repair protein hAGT labelling of proteins Oligo-His-Ni2+-nitrilotriacetate (NTA) 10 amino acid tag NTA binds Ni2+ complexed to protein the NTA fluorophore

  3. FlAsH Tagging FlAsH tagging Requires 6 amino acid tag (Cys-Cys-X-X-Cys-Cys ) Reagent and tag are non-fluorescent until they bind together Membrane permeable Limited background from endogenous Cys-containing proteins. FlAsH EDT
