Designing brighter near-infrared fluorescent proteins : insights from structural and biochemical studies [PDF]
, 2017 Brighter near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent proteins (FPs) are required for multicolor microscopy and deep-tissue imaging. Here, we present structural and biochemical analyses of three monomeric, spectrally distinct phytochrome-based NIR FPs, termed miRFPs.

Experiments with Protoporphyrin
Experimental Biology and Medicine, 1946 Summary1. A simple method for the preparation of protoporphyrin from blood is described. 2. White rats were injected subcutaneously with protoporphyrin and were found to excrete greatly increased amounts of protoporphyrin in the feces. No urinary protoporphyrin nor increase of urinary coproporphyrin excretion following the injection was noted.
