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.
Humans have been selectively breeding cats and dogs for thousands of years to make more desirable pets. A new startup called the Los Angeles Project aims to speed up that process with genetic ...
From growth hormones to cancer drugs, small molecules play a crucial role in our health. Monitoring them is essential to ...
I’ve been a discovery kind of biologist.” For the next two decades, GFP remained just an interesting luminescent protein found in some species of marine animals. In 1989, scientists studied genes of ...
The model was able to predict optimized GFP sequences that had as many as seven different amino acids from the protein sequence they started with, and the best of these proteins were estimated to ...
Avoid fusions to the GFP fragments at the site of protein-protein interaction and consider optimizing the spacer length between the fusions and GFP fragments, if necessary. In the absence of ...
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 ...
(ISBN 978-1512427523). Zimmer's research group is mainly interested in the structural and photophysical properties of Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP), a protein found in jellyfish that has found ...
A team of scientists in the lab of Nobel Prize winner David Baker has created a method for designing proteins that can bind and sense a range of small molecules, with wide applications for biomedicine ...
The research team used the nanoparticles to deliver synthetic mRNA that produces a green fluorescent protein into multiple plant species including Arabidopsis, a miniature member of the canola and ...
