It has been over 60 years since Osamu Shimomura et al. discovered Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) 1. Since then, the color palette for fluorescent proteins has been extended to span blue through to ...

Green fluorescent protein The green fluorescent protein (GFP) is protein composed of 238 amino acids (26.9kDa), which exhibits bright green fluorescence when exposed to blue light.

Billions of years ago, a rock crack exuding heat could have brought different biomolecules together to kickstart protein ...

Early efforts to engineer red-shifted Aequeorea victoria GFP (avGFP) variants led to the development of enhanced GFP (EGFP) and yellow fluorescent proteins with emission maxima at approximately ...

The recent findings of Waldo et al. 1 demonstrate that the fusion of the green fluorescent protein (GFP) to insoluble proteins dramatically reduces its folding ability in prokaryotic cells. This ...
