Abstract excerpt
For living deep-tissue imaging, the optical window favorable for light penetration is in near-infrared wavelengths, which requires fluorescent proteins with emission spectra in the near-infrared region. Here, we report that a single mutant Ser28His of mNeptune with a near-infrared (≥650 nm) emission maxima of 652 nm is found to improve the brightness, photostability, and pH stability when compared with its...
