Green & Blue Fluorescent Proteins

Green & Blue Fluorescent Proteins

The Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP), which is responsible for bioluminescence in the jellyfish Aequorea victoria, is used extensively in all areas of science. Many organisms have been transformed with the GFP gene. It has proven to be so useful that scientists have mutated it to produce Blue Fluorescent Protein (BFP). In this simple experiment your students will transform bacteria either with GFP, BFP or both! Kit includes: instructions, BactoBeads, plasmid DNA, IPTG, ampicillin, transformation solution, ReadyPour agar, Luria broth, petri dishes, sterile pipets and loops. All you need: waterbath, 37°C incubation oven, microwave or hot plate, long wave UV lamp. For 10 Lab Groups. Complete in 50 minutes and grow overnight. Storage: Some components require refrigerator and freezer storage
