<p>    Our system is made of bacterial cells and ‘KillerRed’ proteins. Bacteria divide and produce KillerRed proteins, and KillerRed proteins respond to light: they fluoresce, degrade (photobleaching) and produce Radical Oxygen Species or ROS (phototoxicity). These reactions are exhibited by all fluorescent proteins, but <a href="/Team:Grenoble-EMSE-LSU/Project/Biology">the 3D structure of KillerRed</a> makes its degradation quicker and its high concentration allows ROS to reach proteins, DNA and membrane within the bacteria and damage its vital functions.</p>
