I have just read the following article, "Chaperonin-mediated Folding of Green Fluorescent Protein" by Y. Makino et al.  in the JBC vol. 272. No. 19 pp 12468-12474.  The approach was to denature GFP and monitor its refolding in the presence of GroEL.  This method might allow you to develop an assay for your experiments.
