Fluorescence and labelling: how to choose and what to do

Exp Suppl. 2014:105:1-24. doi: 10.1007/978-3-0348-0856-9_1.

Abstract

This chapter provides an overview of fluorescent labelling of different reactants related to the biochemistry of motor proteins. The fluorescent properties of different labels and the advantages and disadvantages of the labelling methods are discussed. This will allow for a careful selection of fluorescent proteins for different applications relating to motor proteins.
