| - | Regarding the structure, the protein has a secondary structure of five alpha-helices and one eleven-stranded beta-pleated sheet. GFP is shaped like a barrel, which is from the folding of the <scene name='77/777693/Beta_pleated_sheets/1'>beta pleated sheets</scene>. In addition, one <scene name='77/777693/Alpha_helices/1'>alpha helix</scene> can be found running through the center of the barrel, which contains the fluorophore that allows for fluorescence. | + | Regarding the structure, the protein has a secondary structure of five alpha-helices and one eleven-stranded beta-pleated sheet.
