GFP Color

This document describes a paper model of green fluorescent protein (GFP) based on its crystal structure from PDB entry 1EMA. The model shows the protein's 11-stranded beta-barrel structure and the location of its fluorescent chromophore located within the beta-barrel. The chromophore is formed by the cyclization and oxidation of three amino acids, Ser65-Tyr66-Gly67.
