Abstract excerpt
The longer emission wavelengths of red fluorescent proteins (RFPs) make them attractive for whole-animal imaging because cells are more transparent to red light. Although several useful RFPs have been developed using directed evolution, the quest for further red-shifted and improved RFPs continues. Herein, we report a structure-based rational design approach to red-shift the fluorescence emission of RFPs. We...
