It is interesting to know that, when Shimimura observed the green fluorescent, Roger Tiesen was in the primary school.

Martyn Poliakoff also swiftly recorded an explanation which has gone down very well – helped along I’m sure by the swish new haircut he got for this wife’s birthday!

If Shimomura did not inject, how does GFP bind.? Is it because it is a protein, it binds inside the cell?

GFP’s are awesome. Most new varieties come from corals. Many of which i grow. Watch me rap about corals and GFP’s
