The gene of Aequorea GFP was cloned by Prasher et al. (1992), and expressed in E. coli and Caenorhabditis elegans by Chalfie et al. (1994) and in E. coli by Inouye and Tsuji (1994a). The X-ray structure of recombinant GFP was solved by Ormo et al. (1996) and Yang et al. (1996,1997). The protein is in the shape of a cylinder consisting of 11 strands of (3-sheets and an a-helix inside (which contains the chromophore), with short helical segments on the ends of the cylinder. Thus the chromophore is sealed and protected from the outside medium.
