Our paper with Jin Zhang’s Lab at UCSD is out in Nature Communications! We describe a new red fluorescent protein, stagRFP, for easier creation of FRET sensors. stagRFP is an excellent FRET acceptor and donor to the far-red fluorescent protein, smURFP. We show the simultaneous activity of three kinases (Akt, Src, & ERK) in a single cell!
