Bfp: Blue Fluorescent Protein For Cellular Tracking And Biosensing
Blue fluorescent protein (BFP) is a protein found in jellyfish that emits blue light when exposed to ultraviolet radiation. Discovered in 1994, it revolutionized cell biology by allowing scientists to visualize and track proteins in living cells, leading to the 2008 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. BFP has a beta-barrel structure and produces fluorescence by converting…
