General Info
- From jellyfish Aeqorea victoria
- wtGFP sequence on NCBI
- 238 amino acids
- The fluorophore is tyrosine Y66 and the surrounding amino acids of Ser(65)-Tyr(66)-Gly(67) are also critical [1].
GFP Variants
- GFPmut3b - S65G, S72A
- GFPmut3* - mutations from wt: S2R,S65G,S72A
- Emerald
- EGFP F64L, S65T + optimized for human codons with 35-fold increase in fluorescence over GFP [4]
Mutations
- R96A: slows cyclization reaction from minutes to months
