Green fluorescent protein ('''GFP'''), originally isolated from the jellyfish ''Aequorea victoria'' (PDB entry [[1ema]]), fluorsceses green (509nm) when exposed to blue light (395nm and 475nm). It is one of the most important proteins used in biological research because it can be used to tag otherwise invisible gene products of interest and thus observe their existence, location and movement.

This Sandbox is Reserved from 15/04/2015, through 15/06/2015 for use in the course "Protein structure, function and folding" taught by Taru Meri at the University of Helsinki. This reservation includes Sandbox Reserved 1081 through Sandbox Reserved 1090.
To get started:
  • Click the edit this page tab at the top. Save the page after each step, then edit it again.
  • Click the 3D button (when editing, above the wikitext box) to insert Jmol.
  • show the Scene authoring tools, create a molecular scene, and save it. Copy the green link into the page.
  • Add a description of your scene. Use the buttons above the wikitext box for bold, italics, links, headlines, etc.
