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.

including green fluorescent protein (GFP). However, for other proteins, it has proven difficult to generate an optimized version. MIT researchers have now developed a computational approach that ...

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 ...

They called it “green protein,” but at the time ... Although the bacteria were green, the GFP took a long time to fold and become fluorescent. “The jellyfish version of GFP just crashed out in E. coli ...

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.
