Packet 10: Tossup 19

The HBI of a protein with this property forms partly from cyclization, dehydration, and oxidation of a serine-65, (15[1])tyrosine-66, (15[3]-5[1])and glycine-67 (15[2])tripeptide. (15[1])Based on signals from molecules displaying this phenomenon, (15[1])cells are charged and then sorted in FACS. mCherry (15[1])and Cy3 (15[2])are molecules named for this phenomenon. (15[1])Quenching reduces the efficiency of this phenomenon, (15[1])which is found in a (15[1])protein containing a (*) beta-barrel motif. (10[1])PALM is a microscopy technique relying on this phenomenon, which is commonly exploited in cellular imaging using namesake “phores.” A protein isolated from the A. victoria jellyfish (10[1])displays, (10[1]-5[1])for 10 points, (10[2])what (-5[1])form of (10[1]-5[1])luminescence (0[1]-5[4])contrasted (-5[3])with (10[2]-5[1])phosphorescence? (10[1])■END■ (10[10]0[5])

ANSWER: fluorescence [accept fluorophore, green fluorescent protein, fluorescence in-situ hybridization, or fluorescence activated cell sorting; prompt on FISH and prompt on FACS before mentioned]
