	Nikon MicroscopyU: Introduction to Fluorescent Proteins
		The discovery of green fluorescent protein in the early 1960s ultimately heralded a new era in cell biology by enabling investigators to apply molecular cloning methods, fusing the fluorophore moiety to a wide variety of protein and enzyme targets, in order to monitor cellular processes in living systems using optical microscopy and related methodology.
		Green fluorescent protein, and its mutated allelic forms, blue, cyan, and yellow fluorescent proteins are used to construct fluorescent chimeric proteins that can be expressed in living cells, tissues, and entire organisms, after transfection with the engineered vectors.
		Although native green fluorescent protein produces significant fluorescence and is extremely stable, the excitation maximum is close to the ultraviolet range.

	Green fluorescent protein - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The green fluorescent protein (GFP) is a protein from the jellyfish Aequorea victoria that fluoresces green when exposed to blue light.
		In cell and molecular biology, the GFP gene is frequently used as a reporter of expression.
		Color mutants have been obtained from the GFP gene as well: in particular the cyan fluorescent protein (CFP) and the yellow fluorescent protein (YFP) are two colour variants employed for fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) experiments.

	Nikon MicroscopyU: Fluorescence Microscopy
		In living cells, fluorescent proteins are most commonly utilized to track the localization and dynamics of proteins, organelles, and other cellular compartments, as well as a tracer of intracellular protein trafficking.
		Fluorescence Illumination in Stereomicroscopy - The application of stereomicroscopes for GFP observation is now so prevalent that stereo fluorescence illuminators are more frequently referred to as GFP illuminators, even though they can be utilized for many other applications in both the life sciences and the electronics manufacturing industry.
		The fluorescence illumination reveals which organisms are producing the fluorescent protein and the stereoscopic vision coupled to a large field of view and ample working distance enables observers to conduct experiments with forceps, pipettes, or micromanipulators.

	Green Fluorescent Protein
		GFP is a 238 amino acid polypeptide that acts as an energy-transfer acceptor under physiological conditions in the jellyfish Aequorea victoria deriving excitation energy from emission of blue light via a calcium binding-activated photoprotein, aequorin.
		GFP is capable of producing a strong green fluorescence when excited by blue light (without the need for a substrate), which can be monitored using standard ultraviolet microscope technology.
		GFP expression allows the isolation of stable cell lines expressing an uncharacterized protein for which there is no specific antibody or in which an epitope tag would produce an altered function.

		Protein builds muscle and consuming one gram per pound of bodyweight each day is a good bet for growth.
		What we do know, however, is that protein builds muscle and consuming one gram per pound of bodyweight each day is a good bet for meeting your musclebuilding needs.
		The main reason for this is that under stressful conditions, such as prolonged weight training, the body can break down proteins (from muscle) and burn them as energy.

		One initial problem with the use of GFP was the excitation and emission spectra of the wild type protein for fluorescence microscopy.
