Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Formation of the GFP fluorophore (green) from the Ser65-Tyr66-Gly67 tripeptide. In a first step (not shown), protein folding aids in positioning the Ser carbonyl and Gly nitrogen. Then, cyclization occurs at aforementioned moieties and water is eliminated. Finally, oxidation / desaturation occurs on Tyr, leading to formation of a large pi-delocalized system (green).
