Description
The dTomato protein is a fluorescent dimer protein that emits orange-red light when it is excited by green-yellow light. It is preferable to use ??? especially in self-made fluorometry tests ??? because the excitation wavelengths and the emission wavelengths don't overlap as much as in other fluorescent proteins. The dTomato excitation peak is at 554 nm and 50% of it is at 510 nm. Also, its emission peak is at 581 nm and its 50% emission at 629 nm (Figure 1). Characterization has been made with the Anderson promoters BBa_J23101 and (construct BBa_K1688010) and BBa_J23110 (construct BBa_K1688011).

It was derived from a monomeric mutant of the anthozoan coral RFP, DsRed
