Abstract excerpt
Dronpa absorbs blue light and emits bright green fluorescence. It can also be converted by strong irradiation at 490 nm to a nonfluorescent state, which can then be switched back to the original emissive state with irradiation at 400 nm. Through semirandom mutagenesis studies, we have developed two mutants of Dronpa that show efficient photoswitching kinetics. Compared to Dronpa, the mutants can be turned off by...
