Synthesis and Spectroscopic Studies of Model Red Fluorescent Protein Chromophores
摘要:
Here we describe the synthesis and spectroscopic characterization of two compounds designed to model the chromophore in DsRed, a red fluorescent protein. Comparison with model green fluorescent protein (GFP) chromophores indicates that the additional conjugation in the DsRed models can account, in part, for the red-shifted absorption and emission properties of DsRed compared to those of GFP. In contrast to the GFP models, the DsRed models are fluorescent with quantum yields of 0.002-0.01 in CHCl3.
