The new fluorescent label remains covalently bonded to its target molecule and does not fall apart even under demanding conditions inside living cells.

This allows to track labeled molecules over long periods with high reliability.

Good quality water models have a surprisingly wide range of dielectric constants
Computational chemists aim to describe biomolecules and their properties in detail. To do so, they must also model the natural aqueous environment in which these molecules occur. Because it is…
