A rationally enhanced red fluorescent protein expands the utility of FRET biosensors

TagRFP is a bright red fluorescent protein, but undergoes photoconversion to a dark state, making it undesirable for conventional fluorescence microscopy. Here, the authors introduce stabilising mutations to create super-TagRFP (stagRFP) and demonstrate its application as both a FRET acceptor and FR...

Description
Résumé:TagRFP is a bright red fluorescent protein, but undergoes photoconversion to a dark state, making it undesirable for conventional fluorescence microscopy. Here, the authors introduce stabilising mutations to create super-TagRFP (stagRFP) and demonstrate its application as both a FRET acceptor and FRET donor.
