Emmanuel Derivery’s group in the LMB’s Cell Biology Division uses bacteria to express proteins of interest. They also modify them, in this case making the protein fluorescent pink, as this allows them to easily see the protein in microscopy experiments. Day 218 of #LMB365 shows some stages in the purification of a fluorescently-labelled protein, at the same time as the unlabelled protein.
