Abstract excerpt
Green fluorescent protein variant S65T/H148D has been reported to host a photocycle involving the photoinduced proton transfer reaction between the chromophore and residue Asp148 under 50 fs and without a measurable kinetic isotope effect, and experimental evidence is suggestive of the existence of a highly delocalized proton between these residues. The blinding speed at which this biological system undergoes...
