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...
