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 (15[2])tripeptide. (15[1])Based on signals from molecules displaying this phenomenon, cells are charged and then sorted in FACS. mCherry and Cy3 (15[1])are molecules named for this phenomenon. Quenching reduces the efficiency of this phenomenon, 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 displays, for 10 points, (10[1])what form of luminescence contrasted with (10[1])phosphorescence? ■END■

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]
