Implementation Constraints

cofactor dependency: cofactor requirement unknownencoding mode: genetically encodedimplementation constraint: context specific validationoperating role: sensor

The abstract indicates dependence on suitable fluorophores and practical limits from spectral overlap. It is discussed in the context of live-cell imaging and multi-colour imaging constraints.; practical implementation is hampered by fluorophore limitations and spectral overlap

The abstract says current approaches still suffer from slow image acquisition and therefore limited high-temporal-resolution tracking of multiple protein targets in live cells.; slow image acquisition limits high temporal resolution tracking of multiple protein targets in live cell imaging
