Proteins are specifically labeled with reporters compatible with either light microscopy or electron microscopy or both. This chapter provides a broad overview of methods for protein labeling for imaging and a description of Versatile Interacting Peptide (VIP) tags, a new technology for labeling proteins for microscopy. VIP tags are discussed herein in the context of: 1) peptide tags for imaging and 2) tags for electron microscopy. VIP tags are part of an effort to develop small peptide tags (<7 kDa), without sacrificing specificity or utility. VIP tags are also a new genetically encoded tag for electron microscopy, which has far fewer options compared to protein tags for fluorescent imaging. 000008081 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000008081 650__ $$aIron$$021036 000008081 650__ $$aPeptides$$023769 000008081 6531_ $$afluorescence microscopy 000008081 6531_ $$aelectron microscopy 000008081 6531_ $$achemical biology 000008081 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000008081 7001_ $$aDoh, Julia K. 000008081 8564_ $$928b69ce9-2ae0-4050-ac3d-0af3e5d4d587$$s11547619$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/8081/files/Doh.Julia.2020.pdf 000008081 905__ $$a/rest/prod/0g/35/4f/92/0g354f922 000008081 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:8081$$pstudent-work 000008081 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations
