TL;DR: Six fluorescent proteins homologous to the green fluorescent protein (GFP) from Aequorea victoria are cloned, two of which have spectral characteristics dramatically different from GFP, emitting at yellow and red wavelengths.

TL;DR: A genetically encoded, highly specific fluorescent probe for detecting hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) inside living cells, named HyPer, consists of circularly permuted yellow fluorescent protein (cpYFP) inserted into the regulatory domain of the prokaryotic H 2O2-sensing protein, OxyR.

TL;DR: Dendra represents the first PAFP, which is simultaneously monomeric, efficiently matures at 37 °C, demonstrates high photostability of the activated state, and can be photoactivated by a common, marginally phototoxic, 488-nm laser line.

TL;DR: A far-red fluorescent protein, named Katushka, is reported, which is seven- to tenfold brighter compared to the spectrally close HcRed or mPlum, and is characterized by fast maturation as well as a high pH-stability and photostability, which makes it the protein of choice for visualization in living tissues.

TL;DR: TagRFP is reported, a monomeric red fluorescent protein, which is characterized by high brightness, complete chromophore maturation, prolonged fluorescence lifetime and high pH-stability, which makes it an excellent tag for protein localization studies and fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) applications.
