Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) was first isolated from the jelly fish, Aequorea victoria. The protein consists of 238 amino acid residues that fluoresce green when exposed to UV light.

A green fluorescent protein makes fruit fly sperm glow green. (Image credit: Catherine Fernandez and Jerry Coyne.) GFP remains special, however, because it spontaneously folds into the right shape ...
