Abstract excerpt
The fluorescence of Green Fluorescent Protein (wtGFP) and variants has been exploited in distinct applications in cellular and analytical biology. GFPs emission depends on the population of the protonated (A-state) and deprotonated (B-state) forms of the chromophore. Whereas wtGFP is pH-independent, mutants in which Ser65 is replaced by either threonine or alanine (as in GFPmut2) are pH-dependent, with a p Ka...
