Abstract excerpt
mPlum is a far-red fluorescent protein with emission maximum at approximately 650 nm and was derived by directed evolution from DsRed. Two residues near the chromophore, Glu16 and Ile65, were previously revealed to be indispensable for the far-red emission. Ultrafast time-resolved fluorescence emission studies revealed a time dependent shift in the emission maximum, initially about 625 nm, to about 650 nm over a...
