The labeling of proteins in living cells with fluorescent substituents is critical to the study of cell biology. A ligand–receptor approach based on the interaction between dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) and methotrexate (Mtx) serves as a general method for labeling proteins with fluorescent or otherwise functional small molecules in vivo (see figure).
