What is Green fluorescent protein?
'''Green florescent protein''' (GFP) is a [[protein]] that is found in moon [[jellyfish]]. It helps scientists look at [[cell]] [[molecule]]s. There is another substance the is called RFP that serves the same purpose but is red, and is found in [[coral]]. For GFP scientists have learned that if you take away one molecule it can change the whole color of the substance, along with if you add a molecule to the original substance it will also change the color. Scientists have made the colors cyan (ECFP) and pink (mRaspberry). The GFP is a [[Fluorescence|florescent]] substance that is kind of like a highlighter. [[Category:Proteins]] {{biology-stub}}
