      Would cats care about red dots that aren’t moving? My impression is cats just have a hunting instinct that is triggered by everything moving that is small enough to be prey, including red dots, but only if they are moving…

    Probably rfp. Maybe localized to mitochondria or something? Which protein are you tagging? What cell line are you using? Where’s the scale?

      There’s a mineral called jasper that is often reddish brown, but it can also appear in a lot of other colours. So unlike malachite, ruby, or emerald, it’s not a great name for a colour.
