miRFP670nano is a small, 17 kDa, monomeric near-infrared fluorescent protein (NIR FP). Its excitation is at 645 nm and its emission is at 670 nm. NIR fluorescent proteins are useful in biological applications like deep tissue imaging as it has a better penetrative trait than visible light which is scattered by lipids. Most of them are derived from bacterial phytochrome photoreceptors as monomers because these have absorbance in NIR range spectra. miRFP670nano is derived from cyanobacteriochromes, which usually bind phycocyanobilins found in plants, however, this protein was engineered by various mutations to bind biliverdin. The protein has a GAF domain (cGMP phosphodiesterase-adenylate cyclase-FhlA), which has a major role in light perception in phytochromes. It has a monomeric state, is small, has high stability, and can be easily used as a fused tag. It also has a brightness that exceeds bacterial phytochrome photoreceptor-derived NIR fluorescent proteins even in mammalian cells.

miRFP670 nano

miRFP670nano is a near-infrared fluorescent protein published in 2019, derived from Nostoc punctiforme. It is special because it harbors an unusually small size. (17 kDa)


Usage and Biology

miRFP670nano is a small, 17 kDa, monomeric near-infrared fluorescent protein (NIR FP). Its excitation is at 645 nm and its emission is at 670 nm. NIR fluorescent proteins are useful in biological applications like deep tissue imaging as it has a better penetrative trait than visible light which is scattered by lipids. Most of them are derived from bacterial phytochrome photoreceptors as monomers because these have absorbance in NIR range spectra. miRFP670nano is derived from cyanobacteriochromes, which usually bind phycocyanobilins found in plants, however, this protein was engineered by various mutations to bind biliverdin. The protein has a GAF domain (cGMP phosphodiesterase-adenylate cyclase-FhlA), which has a major role in light perception in phytochromes. It has a monomeric state, is small, has high stability, and can be easily used as a fused tag. It also has a brightness that exceeds bacterial phytochrome photoreceptor-derived NIR fluorescent proteins even in mammalian cells.
