Synthesis and Spectroscopic Studies of Model Red Fluorescent Protein Chromophores
Synthesis and Spectroscopic Studies of Model Red Fluorescent Protein Chromophores is a scholarly work by Peter J. Tonge, published in 2002 in ''Organic Letters''. The main subjects of the publication include optogenetics, photochemistry, chemistry, fluorescent protein, photosynthesis, chromophore, fluorescence microscope, absorption, green fluorescent protein, biophysics, and fluorescence. 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.
