Only their fur does not glow. Osamu Shimomura first noticed green fluorescent protein (GFP) in 1962. At first, it was a mere footnote in a scientific paper about a small, bioluminescent jellyfish ...

Here we report a series of supramolecular green fluorescent protein oligomers that are assembled in precise polygonal geometries and prepared in a monodisperse population. Green fluorescent ...

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 ...

By Jeyashree Sundaram, MBA In biochemistry and cell biology, the most highly studied and developed protein is green fluorescent protein (GFP), which is derived from jellyfish Aequorea victoria ...

GFP can absorb light at one energy and emit light at another. The result is that the protein glows, and glows with a specific color, when exposed to a specific wavelength of light. This function ...

Machine learning and supercomputing have brought about a revolution in computational drug discovery. More therapeutic ...

Tsien of the University of California, San Diego "for the discovery and development of the green fluorescent protein, GFP." The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has awarded the Nobel Prize in ...

Green fluorescent protein, the darling of cell biologists and biomedical researchers, may do more than give off light. When the protein fluoresces — allowing researchers to see where cells and ...

In a fascinating blend of cutting-edge science and nature, researchers working on AIDS treatments have developed an unusual ...

Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) was first isolated from the jelly fish, Aequorea victoria. The protein consists of 238 amino acid residues that fluoresce green when exposed to UV light.

This process has yielded optimized versions of many important proteins, including green fluorescent protein (GFP). However, for other proteins, it has proven difficult to generate an optimized ...
