A protein that glows green, and won a Nobel prize for its discoverers and developers, has finally found its role in life — to paint the world red. Since it was isolated from jellyfish in the early 1960s, green fluorescent protein (GFP) has been used as a biological tool to track other proteins within cells. The GFP gene is attached to the gene for the protein of interest and inserted into cells. (source: nature.com)
