What is GFP and why is it unique among proteins? How will the GFP properties aid you in your purification?

Solution

GFP or Green Fluorescent Protein is a 238 amino acid protein discovered in jellyfish.

Unique properties of GFP:

It is unique among many proteins because it has been used as a reporter gene in molecular biology, and recombinant DNA technology. This protein can be introduced into many organisms through transgenic technology and then it can be made to become a part of the genome as well; means, it will pass from parent to offspring also.

For Part 2 of the question, information is incomplete. I mean which purification is the question relating to? Please specify.
