Description
This part codes for the bright blue fluorescent protein mTagBFP. mTagBFP is a monomeric protein with a narrow fluorescence emission spectrum with a maximum at 456 nm. It has a tyrosine-based chromophore, giving it substantially higher brightness, faster chromophore maturation and higher pH stability than blue fluorescent proteins with a histidine in the chromophore. Subach et. al. started with a red fluorescent protein (TagRed) and converted it to a bright blue monomeric protein. See the article listed in source. The sequence has been codon optimized for expression in E coli by DNA 2.0.
Notes
The sequence has been codon optimized for expression in E coli by DNA 2.0.
