Miniature
GFPs are useful protein teaching tools and student recognition awards.
Each GFP is approximately 2” high. This structure is composed of
an 11-stranded beta-barrel which surrounds the fluorphore located
in the center. Notice how the structure resembles a lantern - perfect
for explaining the structure-function nature of many proteins.

handle with care. Mini GFPs are fragile. (They are made of plaster, using
a rapid prototyping process.)
