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.

Figure 1: Confocal imaging of LLC-PK-1 cells in mitosis. To generate the GFP fusion protein, insert the corresponding cDNA into the multiple cloning site of a pEGFP or other appropriate ...

Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Genetics have developed a novel synthetic micropeptide termed the ...

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 has a remarkable capacity ...

GFP is a common fusion protein tag that enables protein expression to be monitored, quantified, and localized within the complex environment of the cell (Lippincott-Schwarz 2001). Anti-GFP ...

Drs. Martin Chalfie, Roger Y. Tsien, and Osamu Shimomura were the recipients. The 2008 Nobel Prize in chemistry went to three researchers who discovered the fluorescent protein GFP in jellyfish ...
