A green fluorescent protein makes fruit fly sperm glow green. (Image credit: Catherine Fernandez and Jerry Coyne.) GFP remains special, however, because it spontaneously folds into the right shape ...

Green fluorescent protein has invaded thousands of research labs around the world, thanks to its versatility in labeling cells and organisms. Now, chemists have discovered why GFP is such an ...

GFP JELLYFISH Green fluorescent protein, found in creatures such as this Aequorea victoria jellyfish (above), glows green when exposed to blue light.

Formation of the chromophore of green fluorescent protein (GFP) depends on the correct folding of the protein. We constructed a "folding reporter" vector, in which a test protein is expressed as ...

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 far ...

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

When you look up at the blue sky, where are the stars that you see at night? They’re there but we can’t see them. A firefly flitting across a field is invisible to us during the day, but at ...

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

A research group has developed a technology for mass-producing uniform artificial cells (lipid bilayer vesicles) with artificial model nuclei using microfluidic devices with high reproducibility. They ...

New fluorescent drug lights up nerve tissue under special imaging equipment, giving surgeons a visual edge during procedure.

Confocal microscopy image showing basolateral amygdala cells infected by a virus engineered to introduce the CRE recombinase ...

Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Genetics have developed a novel synthetic micropeptide termed the "killswitch" to selectively immobilize proteins within cellular condensates, ...
