Enhanced Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) fluorescence after polyelectrolyte caging

Enhanced Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) fluorescence after polyelectrolyte caging.

Discovery of Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) constituted an important improvement for living cell studies on submicron resolution allowing in vivo fluorescence labeling. We studied the photo-physical properties of single GFP molecules incorporated in a charged polyelectrolyte environment by means of single molecule spectroscopy. The fluorescence characteristics change dramatically in terms of p...

Discovery of Green Fluorescent Protein, Gfp

I discovered the green fluorescent protein GFP from the jellyfish Aequorea aequorea in 1961 as a byproduct of the Ca-sensitive photoprotein aequorin (Shimomura et al., 1962; Johnson et al., 1962), and identified its chromophore in 1979 (Shimomura, 1979). GFP was a beautiful protein but it remained useless for the next 30 years after the discovery. My story begins in 1945, the year the city of N...

Reading Frame SD Shine - Dalgarno GFP Green Fluorescent Protein E .

Functional overexpression of membrane proteins is essential for their structural and functional characterization. However, functional overexpression is often difficult to achieve, and frequently either no expression or expression as misfolded aggregates is observed. We present an approach for improving the functional overexpression of membrane proteins in E. coli using transcriptional fusions. ...
