title: Optical probes for molecular processes in live cells.
abstract: In this review, I summarize the development over the past several years of fluorescent and/or bioluminescent indicators to pinpoint cellular processes in living cells. These processes involve second messengers, protein phosphorylations, protein-protein interactions, protein-ligand interactions, nuclear receptor-coregulator interactions, nucleocytoplasmic trafficking of functional proteins, and protein localization.
