Abstract excerpt
Far-red and near-infrared fluorescent proteins (FPs) enable in vivo tissue imaging with greater depth and clarity compared to FPs in the visible spectrum due to reduced light absorbance and scatter by tissues. However current tools are limited by low brightness, limited red-shifting, and a non-ideal dimeric oligomerization state. In this study we developed a monomeric variant of iRFP, termed mRhubarb713, and...
