A Game of Tag: A Review of Protein Tags for the Successful Detection, Purification and Fluorescence Labelling of Proteins Expressed in Microalgae (2025)
Journal Article
Scarfe, J., Kosmützky, D., & Nisbet, E. (in press). A Game of Tag: A Review of Protein Tags for the Successful Detection, Purification and Fluorescence Labelling of Proteins Expressed in Microalgae. The Plant Journal,

Recombinant proteins play a crucial role in both fundamental research and biotechnology. In the laboratory, recombinant proteins are used in a myriad of ways, including to label cells, localize proteins and isolate complexes. In the clinic, antibody-...

Phasing out photosynthesis -and weaponising chlorophyll? (2025)
Journal Article
Howe, C. J., & Nisbet, R. E. R. (2025). Phasing out photosynthesis -and weaponising chlorophyll?. Trends in Parasitology, 41(5), 339-340. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.pt.2025.03.014

Photosynthesis has been lost independently many times in the evolutionary history of eukaryotes. Surprisingly, the ability to synthesise chlorophyll has sometimes been retained after the loss of photosynthesis. Jacko-Reynolds et al. show this has hap...
