Popis: The genetically-modified binding proteins calmodulin, the phosphate binding protein, the sulfate binding protein, and the galactose/glucose binding protein have been successfully employed as biosensing elements for the detection of phenothiazines, phosphate, sulfate, and glucose, respectively. Mutant proteins containing unique cysteine residues were utilized in the site-specific labeling of environment-sensitive fluorescent probes. Changes in the environment of the probes upon ligand-induced conformational changes of the proteins result in changes in fluorescence intensity.© (2001) COPYRIGHT SPIE--The International Society for Optical Engineering.
