The green fluorescent protein (GFP) is a protein that exhibits green fluorescence when exposed to light in the blue to ultraviolet range. [2][3] The label GFP traditionally refers to the protein first isolated from the jellyfish Aequorea victoria and is sometimes called avGFP.

EGFP is a basic (constitutively fluorescent) green fluorescent protein published in 1996, derived from Aequorea victoria. It is reported to be a rapidly-maturing weak dimer with moderate acid sensitivity.

A brief personal perspective is provided for green fluorescent protein (GFP), covering the period 1994–2011. The topics discussed are primarily those in which my research group has made a contribution and include structure and function of the GFP ...

1996年8月23日 · The molecular structure of green fluorescent protein. The crystal structure of recombinant wild-type green fluorescent protein (GFP) has been solved to a resolution of 1.9 A by multiwavelength anomalous dispersion phasing methods.

The native green fluorescent protein (GFP), first so named by Morin and Hastings (1971 ab), from the jellyfish Aequorea victoria (Shimomura et al., 1962) contains 238 amino acids (Prasher et al., 1992).

In just three years, the green fluorescent protein (GFP) from the jellyfish Aequorea victoria has vaulted from obscurity to become one of the most widely studied and exploited proteins in biochemistry and cell biology.

2008年10月8日 · The very aptly named green fluorescent protein — or GFP as it is almost universally known — is a barrel-shaped protein made up of 238 amino acids.

In this article and the accompanying poster, we will describe some of the general properties of FPs that are important to their function. We will also provide examples of successful mutagenesis that has been used to improve the use of these proteins for live-cell imaging, particularly for mammalian studies.

Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) refers to a protein isolated from the jellyfish (Aequorea victoria) that can be used as a reporter to trace lineages and determine cell fate in mouse and other model organisms.

Presented in Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of the chromophore formation in maturing enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP), a derivative that substitutes the amino acid threonine for serine at position 65 (S65T).
