From growth hormones to cancer drugs, small molecules play a crucial role in our health. Monitoring them is essential to ...

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.

The model was able to predict optimized GFP sequences that had as many as seven different amino acids from the protein ...

Avoid fusions to the GFP fragments at the site of protein-protein interaction and consider optimizing the spacer length between the fusions and GFP fragments, if necessary. In the absence of ...

I’ve been a discovery kind of biologist.” For the next two decades, GFP remained just an interesting luminescent protein found in some species of marine animals. In 1989, scientists studied genes of ...

The 2008 Nobel Prize in Chemistry will go to a trio of researchers who discovered, expressed, and developed green fluorescent protein (GFP) and revolutionized the way that biologists visualize living ...

A team of scientists in the lab of Nobel Prize winner David Baker has created a method for designing proteins that can bind and sense a range of small molecules, with wide applications for biomedicine ...

The team has used Crispr to add a gene to rabbit embryos so they produce green fluorescent protein, or GFP. Zayner says they’re aiming to transfer the engineered embryos to female rabbits this week.
