Abstract excerpt
The native cysteine residues of green fluorescent protein (GFP) at positions 48 and 70 were replaced by non-thiolic amino acids, and new cysteine sites were introduced at specific, surface positions. Based on molecular modeling of the GFP structure, the sites chosen for mutagenesis to Cys were glutamic acid at position 6 and isoleucine at position 229. These new, unique cysteine sites provided reactive thiol...
