The molecular structure of green fluorescent protein [PDF]
The crystal structure of recombinant wild-type green fluorescent protein (GFP) has been solved to a resolution of 1.9 A by multiwavelength anomalous dispersion phasing methods. The protein is in the shape of a cylinder, comprising 11 strands of beta-sheet with an alpha-helix inside and short helical segments on the ends of the cylinder.

Photooxidation-guided ultrastructural identification and analysis of cells in neuronal tissue labeled with green fluorescent protein. [PDF]
The ultrastructural characterization of neuronal compartments in intact tissue labeled with green fluorescent protein (GFP) remains a frequently encountered challenge, despite work establishing photooxidation of GFP in cultured cells.

Applications of Green Fluorescent Protein in Plants
Green fluorescent protein (GFP) is increasingly being used in plant biology from the cellular level to whole plant level. At the cellular level, GFP is being used as an in vivo reporter to assess frequency of transient and stable transformation. GFP has also proven to be an invaluable tool in monitoring trafficking and subcellular localization of ...

Infinite average lifetime of an unstable bright state in the green fluorescent protein [PDF]
The time evolution of the fluorescence intensity emitted by well-defined ensembles of Green Fluorescent Proteins has been studied by using a standard confocal microscope. In contrast with previous results obtained in single molecule experiments, the photo-bleaching of the ensemble is well described by a model based on Levy statistics.

A Diabatic Three-State Representation of Photoisomerization in the Green Fluorescent Protein Chromophore [PDF]
We give a quantum chemical description of bridge photoisomerization reaction of green fluorescent protein (GFP) chromophores using a representation over three diabatic states. Bridge photoisomerization leads to non-radiative decay, and competes with fluorescence in these systems.

Detection of human annexin A1 as the novel N-terminal tag for separation and purification handle
Background Several fusion tags for separation handle have been developed, but the fused tag for simply and cheaply separating the target protein is still lacking.

Imaging individual green fluorescent proteins [PDF]
Recent advances in fluorescence microscopy techniques have allowed the video-time imaging of single molecules of fluorescent dyes covalently bound to proteins in aqueous environments1. However, the techniques have not been exploited fully because proteins can be difficult to label, and dye modification may cause partial or complete loss of activity ...
