摘要: Steady-state emission, femtosecond pump−probe spectroscopy, and time-correlated single-photon counting (TCSPC) measurements were used to study the photophysics excited-state proton transfer (ESPT) reactions in green fluorescent protein (GFP) variant S65T/H148D at three pH values: 6.0, 7.9, 9.5. Selective mutation of GFP caused a dramatic change steady-state behavior as compared wild-type (wt-GFP) studied earlier. An excitation wavelength dependence quantum yield strong emission band 510 nm (I* band) indicates competition between adiabatic non-adiabatic proton-transfer reactions. Pump−probe show that signal buildup probed is biphasic, where 0.8 amplitude ultrashort, <150 fs, 0.2 decreases with ∼10 ps time constant.
