From its humble beginnings in the bodies of a particular species of jellyfish, green fluorescent protein, or GFP for short, has transformed biomedical research.

Early uses of GFP-tagging in fluorescence microscopy involved the protein being expressed in various structures to increase understanding of the differences in cellular morphology.

In vivo fluorescence imaging using GFP and RFP permits rapid and simple tracking of primary and metastatic cancer development research in live animals.

Researchers at the Lomonosov Moscow State University in cooperation with Danish molecular physicists have revealed the mechanism that determines the sensitivity of green fluorescent protein to ...

How a green fluorescent protein found in jellyfish 40 years ago became vital to molecular biology.

Proteins from the green fluorescent protein (GFP) family are essential markers in the world of molecular and cellular biology because they help to visualize cellular components and processes. They ...

The RNAs developed by the Jaffrey group function like GFP, a natural protein expressed in jellyfish that exhibits a green fluorescence. GFP has enabled scientists to watch how proteins move in ...

Fluorescent microscopy makes use of molecules, such as green fluorescent protein, or GFP, that emit colored light when illuminated with light of a specific wavelength. Molecules like GFP can be ...

Green fluorescent protein The green fluorescent protein (GFP) is protein composed of 238 amino acids (26.9kDa), which exhibits bright green fluorescence when exposed to blue light.
