Fluorescent proteins offer several advantages in toxicology:
Real-time Monitoring: They allow for the observation of dynamic processes as they occur, providing insights into the timing and sequence of cellular events. Non-invasive Techniques: Unlike traditional methods that may require cell destruction, fluorescent proteins can be used in living cells, preserving their physiological context. High Specificity:Target-specific proteins can be tagged, allowing for precise investigation of individual pathways affected by toxicants.
