Crystal structure and Raman studies of dsFP483, a cyan fluorescent protein from Discosoma striata.

Abstract excerpt

To better understand the diverse mechanisms of spectral tuning operational in fluorescent proteins (FPs), we determined the 2.1-A X-ray structure of dsFP483 from the reef-building coral Discosoma. This protein is a member of the cyan class of Anthozoa FPs and exhibits broad, double-humped excitation and absorbance bands, with a maximum at 437-440 nm and a shoulder at 453 nm. Although these features support a...
