Round 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[1]-5[1])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. (15[1])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 form of luminescence contrasted with phosphorescence? ■END■ (0[2])

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]
