Round 10: Tossup 19

The HBI of a protein with this property forms partly from cyclization, dehydration, and oxidation of a serine-65, tyrosine-66, and glycine-67 tripeptide. Based on signals from molecules displaying this phenomenon, cells are charged and then sorted in FACS. mCherry (15[1])and Cy3 are molecules named for this phenomenon. Quenching reduces the efficiency of this phenomenon, which is found in a protein containing a (*) beta-barrel motif. 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 displays, for 10 points, what (-5[1])form of luminescence (-5[1])contrasted (-5[1])with phosphorescence? ■END■ (10[3])
