Since scientists began experimenting with green fluorescent proteins in the middle of the 1990s, these proteins have become one of the most important tools available to researchers in modern medicine and biology. By using them to illuminate other proteins that were previously in…
Offers information on bioluminescence, a unique adaptation found in the animal kingdom, and scientific and medical uses of the green fluorescent protein genes that make it possible, including tracking body processes and the progress of disease. --Publisher.
Bioluminescent species produce and emit light for reasons including defense and attracting mates as well as prey. But how are scientists using bioluminescence to help humans?
