fluorescent protein.
The membranes of cells that have been successfully targeted with gesicles are transiently
labeled with red
fluorescent protein.
One common complaint about using four - color Confetti to
label single cells (in an animal) is that the cells express green
fluorescent protein less often, or sometimes not at all, compared with cells that express each of the other three colors.
The ability to
label different subcellular locations with the green
fluorescent protein (GFP) has made it possible to visualize intracellular activities in living cells.
Furthermore, once these
proteins are identified, they can be selectively
labeled with antibodies linked to green
fluorescent protein (GFP) and directly observed in a cell.

In 2002, an offer to join the faculty of MIT's Chemistry Department drew her back to the East Coast, where she was able to begin tackling the problem that had «repeatedly stymied» her throughout her PhD and postdoc years: site - specific
protein labeling — how to
label a particular
protein with a
fluorescent tag or other «chemical probe» to reveal information about that
protein's function.
