p.13549 left column 2nd paragraph:"The bioluminescent jellyfish Aequorea victoria produces a greenish luminescence from the margin of its umbrella by using two proteins: a Ca2+-binding protein, aequorin (21.4 kDa) and a chromophore-bearing green fluorescent protein (GFP 27 kDa) (primary source). On binding Ca2+, aequorin undergoes an intramolecular reaction, yielding a blue fluorescent protein in the singlet excited state, which transfers its energy by resonance to GFP. The acceptor of energy in GFP is a chromophore consisting of an imidazolone ring structure (refs 2–4)." |
