Lichtman and Sanes used Cre-Lox derivatives of it in order to study neural networks.
mKeima has a similar structure and function as this protein. Enhanced, superecliptic, pH-sensitive derivatives of this protein can be used to measure synaptic activity, and Lichtman and Sanes used Cre-Lox derivatives of it in order to study neural networks. This protein has an intrinsic Forster cycle. Lippincott-Schwartz et al. hybridized VSV G protein to this other protein to study the secretory system. Cameleon contains two derivatives of this protein, and is used in FRET. In this protein, the carbonyl from a serine residue is attacked by a glycine amino group, forming a five membered conjugated ring bonded to tyrosine. In its active form, this reporter has a quantum yield of around 80% and an emission peak around 500 nanometers. For 10 points, name this protein isolated from a jellyfish which glows.
