I have the honor (?) of creating the first metal "switch" on green fluoresence protein (GFP - the reporter protein on the pigs). I did it by mutating select residues on the surface of the protein. You could "turn off" the fluoresence in the presence of certain metals, with copper being the best.

Stupid protein tricks...what i used to do for a living. *sigh*
