Engineering an efficient and bright split Corynactis californica green fluorescent protein
Abstract Split green fluorescent protein (GFP) has been used in a panoply of cellular biology applications to study protein translocation, monitor protein solubility and aggregation, detect protein–protein interactions, enhance protein crystallization, and even map neuron contacts. Recent work shows...

Abstract Split green fluorescent protein (GFP) has been used in a panoply of cellular biology applications to study protein translocation, monitor protein solubility and aggregation, detect protein–protein interactions, enhance protein crystallization, and even map neuron contacts.

We present a new monomeric split green fluorescent protein (ccGFP) engineered from a tetrameric GFP found in Corynactis californica, a bright red colonial anthozoan similar to sea anemones and scleractinian stony corals.
