The green fluorescent protein is a bioluminescent protein that is commonly found in the Aequorea Victoria jellyfish and most recently found in the first ever reptile, the Hawksbill Sea Turtle. The 3D modeling project helped with the overall understanding of proteins and even 3D printing. At the end of the project, a 3D model of the GFP protein was created and modeled in front of the class.
