A new YFP called Venus (1MYW)
Overview
In this article we want to present you a new YFP (Yellow Fluorescent Protein) with improved maturation and reduced environmental sensitivity due to 5 mutation of the well characterized variant of the YFP that is to say the EYFP (Enhanced Yellow Fluorescent Protein). The PDB number of this molecule is 1MYW.
