Fluorescent probes are commonly used to detect rapid biochemical changes in single living cells
#Id: 2555
Fluorescent probes are derived from a naturally occurring fluorescent protein, the green fluorescent protein (GFP) of the jellyfish Aequorea Victoria.
#Id: 2556
When excited by absorption of a photon of light, GFP emits a photon (that is, it fluoresces) in the green region of the spectrum.
#Id: 2557
The light-absorbing/ emitting center of GFP (its chromophore) comprises an oxidized form of the tripeptide –Ser65–Tyr66–Gly67
