How many photons does a GFP molecule absorb per second?

Since the quantum yield isn't the main focus here, I'll just take the Wikipedia figure of 0.79 photons emitted / photons absorbed The rest can be worked out from first principles. The absorbance ...

Can GFP reporting be used to track localization of peptides in the ER, Golgi, and plasma membrane?

Historically speaking, the use of VSVG (Vesicular Stomatitis Virus G protein) labeled with GFP was indeed a practical method to define the secretory pathway. (@tyersome comment) However, I am ...
