Fun with GFP
By NerdGirl from the proteins I've worked with department, Section MLP Posted on Tue Jan 24, 2006 at 08:22:46 PM GMT

And this little piggy...

Yeah, I've been ignoring the world for the last few weeks. But I've graduated... now to figure out what you do with a BS in microbiology. And yes, I've played with this protein quite a lot. It's called green fluorescent protein (GFP for short), and my only question is how they got it to fold at the pigs' body temperature.

Don't they do skin grafts from pigs to humans? If I ever get badly burned, I totally want glowing pig skin grafted to me.

Nature is by and large to be found out of doors, a location where, it cannot be argued, there are never enough comfortable chairs.
