摘要: Optimization of autofluorescent proteins by intensity-based screening bacteria does not necessarily identify the brightest variant for eukaryotes. We report a strategy to screen excited state lifetimes, which identified cyan fluorescent with long fluorescence lifetimes (>3.7 ns) and high quantum yields (>0.8). One variant, mTurquoise, was 1.5-fold brighter than mCerulean in mammalian cells decayed mono-exponentially, making it an excellent resonance energy transfer (FRET) donor.
