fuBFP

freeuse Blue Fluorescent Protein, a blue fluorescent protein that fluoresces under long-wave UV.

This part is a variant of fuGFP (Part:BBa K3814004) which was originally designed to create a GFP variant not protected by patents and able to facilitate any kind of research. Using PCR with degenerate primers we introduced the Y67H mutation in the fluorophore to create fuBFP. The variant has an excitation (380 nm) and emission peak (450 nm) at a shorter wavelength (figure 1). We have also created a fusion protein of fuBFP connected to a cellulose-binding domain which allows it to be immobilised on cellulose (Part:BBa K4488021).
