Charactrization of Fluorescent Proteins In Marine Organisms

Abstract

My principal goal is to understand the function, evolution, and taxonomic distribution of flourescent proteins in marine organisms. Several hypotheses have been postulated regarding the function of these ubiquitous proteins including protection from the damaging effects of ultraviolet radiation and the augmentation of photosynthesis by fluorescent resonance energy transfer. I hope to be able to ascertain the function of these proteins and provide new data to answer these important questions.
