Green oil is a lubricant which is non-toxic, biodegradable, petroleum-free, and less expensive. The greenwood chain saw oil was first blended by the Green Oil Company in 1992.

GFP is a fluorescent marker that makes possible the visualisation of protein in the cell. Cells can be stained by them and examined by fluorescence microscopy to reveal the location of a protein of interest. For example, glucocorticoid receptor protein is a transcription factor that …
