What is GFP-Tag
The GFP-Tag comes from the green fluorescent protein (GFP), which was first isolated from the Aequorea victoria jellyfish and later found in other organisms including corals, lancelets, copepods and sea anemones.
The green fluorescence emitted at 509 nm from this protein is a result of exposing it to ultraviolet light. GFP is often used as an expression reporter, due to its ability to form an internal chromophore without any cofactors apart from molecular oxygen.
GFP-Tag structure
The GFP-Tag is shaped like a soda can, that consists of eleven beta-strands making up the beta-barrel and an alpha-helix running through the center.
The chromophore is located in the middle of the beta-barrel, leading to the resemblance of a “light in the can.”
