Reverse Ph-Dependence of Chromophore Protonation Explains the Large Stokes Shift of the Red Fluorescent Protein Mkeima J.Am.Chem.Soc., 131:10356-, 2009 Cited by PubMed Abstract: The recently developed red fluorescent protein Keima exhibits the largest Stokes shift (180 nm) observed to date. Combining X-ray crystallography with (in crystallo) UV-visible absorption, fluorescence, and Raman spectroscopy, we have investigated molecular determinants of this peculiar property. The results demonstrate a pH-dependent "reverse chromophore protonation" triggered by the key residue Asp157 and which couples to cis/trans isomerization of the chromophore. These data provided guidelines to rationally design a useful Keima variant. PubMed: 19722611 DOI: 10.1021/JA903695N PDB entries with the same primary citation
