Abstract excerpt
Better-folding Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) mutants selected from bacterial screenings are commonly used in widely different cellular environments. However, it is unclear if the folding efficiency of GFPs is invariant in different cell types. In this work, we have analysed the folding properties of GFP variants in bacteria versus mammalian cells. Remarkably, S65T was found to fold at comparable levels with the...
