Abstract
The long- term goal of the project is to develop an
environmentally safe, sensitive method for the detection of
reactive oxygen species. The current hypothesis is that the
biosynthetic incorporation of [2,5-H2]-phenylalanine into the
UV sensitive fluorescent variant Tyr66Phe of the green
fluorescent protein will allow the sensing of reactive oxygen
species by fluorescence
