Calcium Regulated Photoproteins and
Green-Fluorescent Proteins

Organized by Dr. William W. Ward.


 

August 29 - September 3, 2004

Bioluminesence research is an esoteric subject. Yet from such basic questions as "How do they do that?" have come astonishing applications. Jellyfish, studied just because they glow, have given us greenfluorescent protein and the calcium regulated photoprotein aequorin. Pioneering studies on GFP and aequorin at the Friday Harbor Labs by Frank Johnson and Osamu Shimomura have transformed our tools for biological research. The symposium celebrates the institution, the people, and their legacies.
