A research team led by Hoi Sung Chung has introduced an enhanced fluorescence microscopy method to investigate protein folding.
This technique allows for real-time observation of large protein molecules as they achieve their functional conformations.
The findings, published on March 14, 2026, could have significant implications for understanding protein behavior in biological systems.
