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 simulated protein, named esmGFP, only exists as computer code, but contains the blueprint for a previously unknown type ...

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 ...

Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) can differentiate into any blood cell. However, as HSCs age, they are more likely to ...

Common in warm areas, fireflies use glowing chemicals in their abdomens to communicate and attract mates. Found in the Pacific Ocean, this jellyfish glows green thanks to a protein called GFP (Green ...

In recent years, there has been a growing trend of an aging patient population and an increasing prevalence of age-associated diseases, underscoring the need for advancing research into the biological ...

Scientists from the University of Tokyo have identified a key aging marker for hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), shedding light on how these cells undergo changes over time. Cluste ...

To date, most such proteins are copies of those found in nature. For this new study, the researchers used an AI model to mimic the evolutionary process of a protein that never existed naturally.

Most of these work by connecting the detection of a molecule to an output such as green fluorescent protein (GFP). These work well for lab studies, but such sensors can't be measured from long ...

Engineers and biologists at Dartmouth College have found that, just like word order affects meaning in a sentence, the ...
