Abstract excerpt
The chromophore of a green fluorescent protein (GFP) mutant engineered to enhance emission and stability is known to display erratic switchings among a few of its chemical substates and, in particular, between the anionic A and the neutral N substates, whose difference is associated with a proton exchange and a consequent conformation rearrangement. However, when close to unfolding, the A-N switchings suddenly...
