Abstract excerpt
X-ray diffraction analysis of pressure-induced structural changes in the Aequorea yellow fluorescent protein Citrine reveals the structural basis for the continuous fluorescence peak shift from yellow to green that is observed on pressurization. This fluorescence peak shift is caused by a reorientation of the two elements of the Citrine chromophore. This study describes the structural linkages in Citrine that are...
