KnowraGreen fluorescent proteinLinked fromLinked fromThe 10 pages that link to Green fluorescent protein, each with the reason it gives.All 10Broader topic 5Related 3Compared with 2FluorescenceBroader topic: It became a widely used genetically encoded marker in biological research.BioluminescenceCompared with: It is often confused with bioluminescent proteins but requires external illumination.CnidariaRelated: A jellyfish protein became a standard tool for tracking processes in living cells.Protein engineeringBroader topic: Engineered variants provide different colors and properties for imaging applications.Directed evolutionBroader topic: Directed evolution has improved its brightness, color, and usefulness as a reporter.FluoresceinCompared with: Unlike added fluorescein, this fluorescent signal can be produced by genetically modified cells.Osamu ShimomuraBroader topic: Shimomura discovered this protein in Aequorea victoria and established its fluorescent properties.Martin ChalfieRelated: Chalfie showed that GFP could mark proteins and cells without added substrates.Roger Y. TsienRelated: Tsien expanded its colors and uses, helping turn it into a versatile cellular marker.William E. MoernerBroader topic: Its photoactivatable variants helped make PALM practical for imaging labeled proteins in cells.
