Protein-flexibility mediated coupling between photoswitching kinetics and surrounding viscosity of a photochromic fluorescent protein.
Recent advances in fluorescent proteins (FPs) have generated a remarkable family of optical highlighters with special light responses. Among them, Dronpa exhibits a unique capability of reversible light-regulated on-off switching. However, the environmental dependence of this photochromism is largely unexplored. Herein we report that the photoswitching kinetics of the chromophore inside Dronpa ...
متن کاملA photochromic and thermochromic fluorescent protein
Photochromism is a change of colour induced by irradiation with light, while thermochromism is a change of colour due to a change of temperature. Both photochromism and thermochromism have been observed in inorganic and organic compounds, however thermochromism is much less common in biological systems. One mechanism by which molecular photochromism can occur is a photo-induced isomerization to...
متن کاملA FRET-facilitated photoswitching using an orange fluorescent protein with the fast photoconversion kinetics.
Fluorescent proteins photoswitchable with noncytotoxic light irradiation and spectrally distinct from multiple available photoconvertible green-to-red probes are in high demand. We have developed a monomeric fluorescent protein, called PSmOrange2, which is photoswitchable with blue light from an orange (ex./em. at 546 nm/561 nm) to a far-red (ex./em. at 619 nm/651 nm) form. Compared to another ...
متن کاملKinetics of desolvation-mediated protein-protein binding.
The role of desolvation in protein binding kinetics is investigated using Brownian dynamics simulations in complexes in which the electrostatic interactions are relatively weak. We find that partial desolvation, modeled by a short-range atomic contact potential, is not only a major contributor to the binding free energy but also substantially increases the diffusion-limited rate for complexes i...
متن کاملRed fluorescent protein with reversibly photoswitchable absorbance for photochromic FRET.
We have developed the first red fluorescent protein, named rsTagRFP, which possesses reversibly photoswitchable absorbance spectra. Illumination with blue and yellow light switches rsTagRFP into a red fluorescent state (ON state) or nonfluorescent state (OFF state), respectively. The ON and OFF states exhibit absorbance maxima at 567 and 440 nm, respectively. Due to the photoswitchable absorban...
