title: Engineering strain-sensitive yellow fluorescent protein.
abstract: Various biological events including muscle contraction and vesicle transport can be described as a mechanical process. Many of the corresponding proteins are thus required to generate or sense a force. Here we describe a strain-sensitive yellow fluorescent protein (YFP) recombinant that can detect the intramolecular strains these proteins experience.
