an optimized GFP for use in protein fusions. Fusion proteins are powerful tools for the elucidation of many biological processes. Although fusing GFP or other fluorescent proteins to a target ...

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.

She and her team first tracked cell lineage from the two-cell stage; they injected mRNA for green fluorescent protein (GFP) fused to a membrane trafficking sequence into one of the two cells of the ...
