Overview

Made by the TU Dresden 2019 adapted to the RFC 25 standard (more information).

Biology

Traditionally isolated from the jellyfish Aequorea victoria, the green fluorescent protein (GFP) has become an important marker for gene expression [1]. However, due to the relatively lower sensitivity of wild-type GFP compared to standard reporter proteins, many different mutants of GFP have been engineered. Thereby, mutations introduced in chromophore of GFP significantly improved its detection and made the protein 35 times brighter than wild-type GFP. The modified fluorescent protein, also known as enhanced GFP (eGFP), appeared to be more sensitive compared to initial detection results [2].

Characterization

Measurement of fluorescence: Performed in the composite BioBrick BBa_K3037005

The protein functionality of eGFP in the fusion protein was analyzed in the protein purified using the MBP-tag. First of all, the excitation and emission spectrum were measured with Tecan Plate Reader (Bandwith 20 nm) (Figure 5). The excitation maxima was screened from 400 to 490, being the final excitation maxima 480 nm. The emission maxima was measured from 500 to 600 nm with a final result of 512 nm.
