Abstract: Auto-fluorescent proteins (AFPs) based biosensorsAuto-fluorescent proteins (AFPs) such as green fluorescent protein (GFP) from jellyfish (Shimomura, O. et al., 1962) are widely used as noninvasive fluorescent markers for gene expression, protein localization, and intracellular protein targeting (Chalfie, M. et al., 1994;Lippincott-Schwartz, J. et al., 2001).The application of AFPs is not limited to the fluorescent markers.Various kinds of AFP-based biosensors have recently been developed by fusion of reporter proteins or mutation of AFPs for imaging and sensing important molecules and key events in living cell.(
