When my little brother and I spent summers on Monhegan as children, we played in the tidal pools on the back side of the ...

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 was first observed in 1962, in the crystal jellyfish which drifts with the currents off the west coast of North America. Since then, the protein has become one of the most important tools in ...

The chapters that chronicle the path of GFP development will appeal ... proteins from species other than jellyfish came the discovery of a red fluorescent protein — the holy grail of ...

They called it “green protein,” but at the time ... the GFP took a long time to fold and become fluorescent. “The jellyfish version of GFP just crashed out in E. coli,” he said. “We didn’t do it with ...

but contains the blueprint for a previously unknown type of green fluorescent protein. In nature, green fluorescent proteins ...

This jellyfish species has a clear body, can glow green and has an almost unnoticeable sting, Jace Tunnell writes.

and developed green fluorescent protein (GFP) and revolutionized the way that biologists visualize living cells. Osamu Shimomura discovered GFP in the jellyfish __Aequorea victoria__ in 1962 while ...

to produce the Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP). The gene coding for GFP comes from the bioluminescent jellyfish, Aequorea victoria, and resides on a DNA plasmid called pGLO. The pGLO plasmid also ...

At the center of his work is the jellyfish and coral reefs which he discovered produces the Green Fluorescent Protein. UCSD has a large student body in both the graduate and undergraduate programs.
