This work describes an elegant approach for direct, site-specific labeling of proteins with fluorescent-dyes for live cell imaging. By integrating a noncanonical amino acid that is capable of binding a fluorescent dye into tubulin, we directly and specifically labeled tubulin with a fluorescent-dye and imaged microtubules in live mammlian cells.
