Abstract excerpt
Folding of the green fluorescent protein (GFP) from Aequorea victoria is characterized by autocatalytic formation of its p-hydroxybenzylideneimidazolidone chromophore, which is located in the center of an 11-stranded beta-barrel. We have analyzed the in vivo folding of 20 circularly permuted variants of GFP and find a relatively low tolerance towards disruption of the polypeptide chain by introduction of new...
