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 do not overlap as much as in other fluorescent proteins. The dTomato excitation peak is at 554 nm and 50% of it is at 510 nm. The emission peak is at 581 nm and the 50% emission peak is at 629 nm.
Source
dTomato was derived from a monomeric mutant of the anthozoan coral RFP, DsRed.
