Tandem fluorescent timers allow to simultaneously monitor protein synthesis and degradation. (a): Upon production of the fusion protein, superfolder GFP (sfGFP), matures fast, whereas the red fluorescent protein (FP) matures more slowly. (b): Simulations showing how tandem fluorescent timers can be used to distinguish changes in protein synthesis from changes in protein degradation.
