A computational chemist argues that biology should adopt green fluorescent protein (GFP) as a community model protein to improve reproducibility and benchmarking. The piece notes GFP’s widespread use since its isolation from jellyfish and demonstrations in the early 2000s, arguing its fast visual readout suits validation of AI‑designed proteins and makes an effective teaching tool.
