LumiMat Lab@NFU

A research team led by Prof. Xin Zhang (@kfzhangxin ) engineered time-resolved fluorescent proteins (tr-FPs) that preserve spectral color while tuning fluorescence lifetime. By adding a time dimension, tr-FPs increase multiplexing capacity, enable super-resolution microscopy, and support direct protein stoichiometry measurements in live-cell microscopy —offering a transformative toolset for advancing biological research with higher throughput and quantitative precision. 👉cell.com/cell/fulltext/… #WestlakeUniversity #proteins #chemistry @CellPressNews

@NarayanSinha01 @WengerOliver @J_A_C_S @BjornPfund @AKMeyer_Goe Thank you!

@Lumimatlab @WengerOliver @J_A_C_S @BjornPfund @AKMeyer_Goe The synthesis is usually carried out under inert atmosphere. Once the complex is formed, then it is (Fe(III)) very much stable under air and moisture.
