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 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, (10[1])for 10 points, what form of luminescence (0[1]-5[2])contrasted with phosphorescence? ■END■ (10[1])
