Two-photon directed evolution of green fluorescent proteins
Directed evolution has been used extensively to improve the properties of a variety of fluorescent proteins (FPs). Evolutionary strategies, however, have not yet been used to improve the two-photon absorption (2PA) properties of a fluorescent protein, properties that are important for two-photon imaging in living tissues, including the brain. Here we demonstrate a technique for quantitatively s...
متن کاملOne- and two-photon excited fluorescence lifetimes and anisotropy decays of green fluorescent proteins.
We have used one- (OPE) and two-photon (TPE) excitation with time-correlated single-photon counting techniques to determine time-resolved fluorescence intensity and anisotropy decays of the wild-type Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) and two red-shifted mutants, S65T-GFP and RSGFP. WT-GFP and S65T-GFP exhibited a predominant approximately 3 ns monoexponential fluorescence decay, whereas for RSGFP...
متن کاملDetermination of two-photon photoactivation rates of fluorescent proteins.
The application of two-photon activation of photoactivatable fluorescent proteins is limited by a lack of information about two-photon activation rates. Here we present rates for the commonly used photoactivatable proteins PAmCherry, PAmKate and PA-GFP at different wavelengths using a novel method that allows us to determine the two-photon activation rates directly, independent of any reference...
متن کاملFluorescent two-photon nanolithography.
Improving the excitation conditions in two-photon fluorescent lithography reduces the size of the fabricated structures to nanometre scales. We demonstrate that a precise control of the illumination profile and the scanning speed of the laser beam is enough to decrease the photo-polymerization volume of resins by orders of magnitude. This work also shows experimental evidence of surface effects...
متن کاملImproved Green-emitting Fluorescent Proteins
The advent of fluorescent proteins (FPs) has redefined the use of fluorescence microscopy in every biological discipline. Green fluorescent protein (GFP) and its variants are commonly used in celluar imaging studies. Recently, a novel fluorescent protein, named vivid Verde Fluorescent Protein (VFP), was isolated from Cyphastrea microphthalma, a scleractinian coral found in the warmer waters of ...
