Abstract excerpt
The 3-fold higher brightness of the recently developed mCherry-XL red fluorescent protein (FP) compared to its progenitor, mCherry, is due to a significant decrease in the nonradiative decay rate underlying its increased fluorescence quantum yield. To examine the structural and dynamic role of the four mutations that distinguish the two FPs and closely related variants, we employed microsecond time scale,...
