Resonantly Enhanced Multiphoton Ionization Spectrum of the Neutral Green Fluorescent Protein Chromophore.
The photophysics of the green fluorescent protein is governed by the electronic structure of the chromophore at the heart of its β-barrel protein structure. We present the first two-color, resonance-enhanced, multiphoton ionization spectrum of the isolated neutral chromophore in vacuo with supporting electronic structure calculations. We find the absorption maximum to be 3.65 ± 0.05 eV (340 ± 5...
متن کاملChromophore formation in green fluorescent protein.
The green fluorescent protein (GFP) from the jellyfish Aequorea Victoria forms an intrinsic chromophore through cyclization and oxidation of an internal tripeptide motif [Prasher, D. C., et al. (1992) Gene 111, 229-233; Cody, C. E., et al. (1993) Biochemistry 32, 1212-1218]. We monitored the formation of the chromophore in vitro using the S65T-GFP chromophore mutant. S65T-GFP recovered from inc...
متن کاملTechniques for Neutral Gas Phase Spectroscopy Exemplar: The Green Fluorescent Protein Chromophore
The study of biological building blocks in the gas phase provides essential understanding of the intrinsic molecular properties which is valuable for complementary studies in solution or in vitro. By studying isolated molecules the influence of the environment can also be removed making theoretical studies more tractable. However, liberation into the gas phase necessarily involves input of ener...
متن کاملOn the photodetachment from the green fluorescent protein chromophore.
Motivated by the discrepancies in recent experimental and theoretical studies of photodetachment from isolated model chromophores of the green fluorescent protein (GFP), this study reports calculations of the electron detachment energies and photoelectron spectra of the phenolate and deprotonated p-hydroxybenzylidene-2,3-dimethylimidazolinone (HBDI) anions. The spectra were computed using doubl...
متن کاملDeactivation mechanism of the green fluorescent chromophore.
We report time-resolved fluorescence data for the anion of p-hydroxybenzylidene dimethylimidazolinone (p-HBDI), a model chromophore of the green fluorescence protein, in viscous glycerol-water mixtures over a range of temperatures, T. The markedly nonexponential decay of the excited electronic state is interpreted with the aid of an inhomogeneous model possessing a Gaussian coordinate-dependent...
