Scientists Roger Y. Tsien, Osamu Shimomura, and Martin Chalfie were awarded the 2008 Nobel Prize in Chemistry on 10 October 2008 for their discovery and development of the green fluorescent protein. Most commercially available genes for GFP and similar fluorescent proteins are around 730 base-pairs long. The natural protein has 238 amino acids.
Roger Yonchien Tsien (pronounced / tʃ ɛ n /, "CHEN"; February 1, 1952 – August 24, 2016) was an American biochemist.He was a professor of chemistry and biochemistry at the University of California, San Diego [7] and was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2008 for his discovery and development of the green fluorescent protein, in collaboration with organic chemist Osamu Shimomura and ...
Martin Lee Chalfie (born January 15, 1947) is an American scientist. He is University Professor at Columbia University. [3] He shared the 2008 Nobel Prize in Chemistry along with Osamu Shimomura and Roger Y. Tsien "for the discovery and development of the green fluorescent protein, GFP". [4] He holds a PhD in neurobiology from Harvard University.
Doctoral advisor. Yoshimasa Hirata. Osamu Shimomura (下村 脩, Shimomura Osamu, August 27, 1928 – October 19, 2018[ 1 ]) was a Japanese organic chemist and marine biologist, and professor emeritus at Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) in Woods Hole, Massachusetts and Boston University School of Medicine.

Douglas Prasher. Douglas C. Prasher (born August 1951) is an American molecular biologist. He is known for his work to clone and sequence the genes for the photoprotein aequorin [1] and green fluorescent protein (GFP) [2] and for his proposal to use GFP as a tracer molecule. [3]
The pGLO plasmid is an engineered plasmid used in biotechnology as a vector for creating genetically modified organisms. The plasmid contains several reporter genes, most notably the green fluorescent protein (GFP) and the ampicillin resistance gene. GFP was isolated from the jelly fish Aequorea victoria.
The Nobel Prizes and the Prize in Economic Sciences have been awarded 577 times to 889 recipients, of which 26 awards (all Peace Prizes) were to organizations. Due to some recipients receiving multiple awards, the total number of recipients is 860 individuals and 22 organizations. [1] The present list ranks laureates under the country/countries ...
Jennifer Lippincott-Schwartz was born on October 19, 1952, in Manhattan, Kansas. Her father was a professor of physical chemistry at the University of Maryland [9] and a periodic table could be found hanging in her family's household kitchen. Lippincott-Schwartz's exposure to her father's work is what sparked her love of science.
