1 Molecularbiology Green Fluorescent Protein

2 Alba, the fluorescent bunny

3 "Alba", the green fluorescent bunny, is an albino rabbit. Alba is not green all the time. It only glows when illuminated with the correct light. When (and only when) illuminated with blue light (maximum excitation at 488 nm), she glows with a bright green light (maximum emission at 509 nm).
