mGFPuv2

Variant of Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) that contains the following mutations:

• F99S/M153T/V163A: GFPuv or cycle 3 GFP was optimised for excitation by UV light (360-400nm). [1]
• S208L: Almost doubles the fluorescent intensity of GFPuv, resulting in GFPuv2. [2]
• A206K: Monomerizes most GFP variants by disrupting a hydrophobic patch. [3]
