mGFP (monomeric Green Fluorescent Protein)

mGFP (monomeric Green Fluorescent Protein) is a specially engineered protein that glows green under certain light. It’s derived from a natural protein found in jellyfish, enabling scientists to track and visualize cells, proteins, or biological processes in living organisms. Unlike earlier versions, mGFP is designed to stay as a single unit (monomer), preventing it from clumping together and ensuring accurate biological studies. This makes mGFP a valuable tool in molecular biology, allowing researchers to observe live cell activities with high precision and minimal disruption.
