| Method |
Researchers exposed GFP in
individual bacterial cells to brief (~30 ms) pulses of 488 nm
light, and monitored the total intensity of cellular red fluorescence
as a function of time after the end of the photoactivating
pulse. The result is a slow brightening with a
characteristic (1/e) timescale of about 0.7 sec. |
