| Outline of Research at the Start |
This research has two major aims. Major Aim (1) is to establish the principles of fluorescent protein-based biosensor function using spectroscopic, computational, and structural techniques. Major Aim (2) is to explore the use of Generative Protein Design, informed with insights obtained under the first aim, to guide the development of improved fluorescent protein-based biosensors. Taking advantage of the power of directed evolution, we will deliver a set of improved far-red and near-infrared biosensors for investigation of the roles of central metabolites in biology and disease models.
