CYAN-EXCITABLE ORANGE-RED FLUORESCENT PROTEINS AND BIOLUMINESCENT RESONANCE ENERGY TRANSFER SYSTEMS

摘要

Engineered orange-red fluorescent proteins with enhanced fluorescent properties, obtained by mutagenesis of mNeptune2, are disclosed. In particular, the invention relates to engineered orange-red fluorescent proteins excitable with cyan light having increased emission intensity and their use in bioluminescent resonance energy transfer systems and fluorescence and bioluminescence imaging.
