I get this strange behavior when I have capitals before a period, like so
1 \documentclass{article}
2 \begin{document}
>> 3 Another possible protein blah blah blah from GRIP/ABP. Blah Blah Blah
4 \end{document}
The error I generally get in vim is:
blahblah.tex|3 error| missing `\@' before `.' in "ABP."
What does that mean? Why do I get it? How do I fix it?

The following hopefully answers your "abbreviated questions":
vim
suggests inserting\@
before.
in...GRIP/ABP.
So, do it! The reason here is thatGRIP/ABP
or any capitalized word before a period is usually an abbreviation. And, in some instances, abbreviations have periods, while some don't. To treat the end-of-abbreviation period as an end-of-sentence period, like it is in your case, useHere is a visual of the effect if you don't use it:
Note the difference in spacing after the period. The latter constitutes a larger-than-usual end-of-sentence period.
vim
is smart and suggests you use it, since it is good style to have proper puntuation.See 1.
The recursive nature of this non-art-like triptych reminds me of the acronym GNU.
