The paper investigates oxygen-induced chromophore degradation in rsCherry, identifying cleavage of the p-hydroxyphenyl ring and formation of cyclic structures as the cause of fluorescence loss.

This study shows how metal-oxo clusters form supramolecular assemblies with a designer protein through size and shape complementarity.

The paper develops 27 photochromic fluorescent proteins with varied spectroscopic properties and determines their crystal structures to analyze structure-function relationships.

This paper identifies a long-lived dark state in mEos4b that disrupts sptPALM tracks and shows that 488-nm light can revert it, improving track length and reducing interruptions.
