The discovery of the green fluorescent protein (GFP) from the jellyfish Aequorea victoria has revolutionized cell biological research. The ability of this protein to form a fluorescent chromophore ...

GFP had a cyclized portion in its structure, and many people thought that such a complex chromophore structure would need the help of other enzymes in the jellyfish to fold correctly. With the clone ...
