4j8a
From Proteopedia
Contents |
Irradiated-state structure of sfGFP containing the unnatural amino acid p-azido-phenylalanine at residue 145
Template:ABSTRACT PUBMED 23620472
Function
[GFP_AEQVI] Energy-transfer acceptor. Its role is to transduce the blue chemiluminescence of the protein aequorin into green fluorescent light by energy transfer. Fluoresces in vivo upon receiving energy from the Ca(2+)-activated photoprotein aequorin.
